After the divorce, I became a mountain god
Chapter 344 Expert Craftsman
Seeing that Boss Li didn't make his point clear, Xu Bo'an said with a little displeasure: "Overseas? Can you tell me which country?"
Boss Li smiled awkwardly and said, "Boss Xu, I'm really sorry. I'm Li, a rough man. The name of that country is too long, or its English name. I really can't remember it, and I don't understand it.
I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just wanted to call you and ask if you have any goods. Then I'll have my secretary contact your secretary and we'll discuss this in detail. Is that okay with you?"
When Xu Bo'an heard this, he realized that he had misunderstood Boss Li.
It turned out that Boss Li thought that he was also a company boss like him, and was thinking of going through the normal company-to-company process to finalize the deal.
After figuring this out, Xu Bo'an said apologetically, "Boss Li, I'm sorry. Maybe President Lu didn't make it clear to you. The wood in my hands is my personal property and has nothing to do with our company. I am doing the deal with you personally. You can just let your secretary contact me directly.
And to be honest, my batch of timber is also overseas, so I wanted to ask you clearly, maybe we can do the handover there and trade directly."
Xu Boan’s wood is naturally not from abroad, but from the bonsai world.
But for Xu Boan, as long as it is in the bonsai world, it means he can take it out anytime and anywhere.
In this way, as long as you apply for a tourist visa and travel abroad, you can also trade abroad.
This also avoids a lot of trouble.
Boss Li on the other end of the phone was surprised and said, "Oh, there is a big misunderstanding. How about this, it is not appropriate to let my secretary contact you, Mr. Xu. The status is not equal. Old Li attaches great importance to you, Mr. Xu. Otherwise, Mr. Xu, when do you have time, I will bring my secretary to talk to you in person. Do you think it is feasible?"
Seeing that the other party was very sincere, Xu Bo'an said, "That's great. Generally speaking, I am free on weekends. Whenever Boss Li can come over, we can meet anytime."
Boss Li was quite generous and said immediately: "Well, how about this Sunday?"
Xu Boan smiled and replied, "No problem. That's settled then."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Boan observed the rosewood he had found in the bonsai before and smiled with relief. These ordinary building materials in the bonsai world turned out to be precious woods after being taken out!
After counting the huanghuali trees in the bonsai, Xu Boan discovered that there were an astonishing more than a hundred of them!
Xu Boan remembered clearly that when Jin Dajian and his companions were cutting wood, he unexpectedly discovered that the agarwood trees mentioned by the little guys were actually the rare Huanghuali wood in the real world. He counted them at that time and found that there were only more than 30 trees.
Because this thing is precious, Xu Boan remembered it clearly, but now there are so many more Huanghuali trees. Could it be that he counted it wrong before?
It's unlikely. After all, Xu Boan has absolute control over the area within the bonsai. As long as he wants, he can quickly search every inch of ground within the bonsai.
Xu Bo'an was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he had used up a lot of incense and vows to expand the scope of the bonsai once.
I think the extra rosewood was originally present in these extra places.
This is a huge fortune.
Xu Bo'an was happy for a long while before he remembered that he still had important things to do!
Custom made extended acupuncture needles!
After finding the phone number sent by Zhang Jimin in the chat history, Xu Boan immediately called the silversmith introduced by Zhang Jimin.
The phone rang twice and was connected.
Before the other party could speak, Xu Bo'an began to introduce himself: "Hello, are you Master Dai?"
The person on the other end of the phone didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either. He asked directly, "Well, who are you?"
Xu Boan understood the other party's caution. After all, to the other party, his phone number was a stranger and the person calling was also a stranger.
For many people, when facing this kind of phone call, they must first identify the other party's identity and intentions before preparing for the next conversation.
This is just like many people like to send a "Are you there?" message first when chatting on WeChat.
Those who received the message felt very depressed.
You didn't even tell me what was going on? How should I know whether I should be "there" or "there"?
I would say "yes"!
What if you cause me trouble?
I would say "no"!
What if you treat me to a meal?
So, when you send a message to someone, just tell them what you want to say and don’t ask if they are there!
After careful consideration, people are willing to respond to you and will reply directly!
If you don’t reply, that’s a normal rejection!
However, you must still say polite greetings on the phone, and as long as the other party does not hang up, you must immediately state the key points of the call.
Xu Boan smiled and introduced himself, "Hello, Master Dai. I am Dr. Zhang Jimin from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Dongjiang Second Hospital. I want to order a set of extended acupuncture needles.
Doctor Zhang said it was not easy to do, so he recommended you. He said you have superb skills and are a well-deserved master! If you can't do it, then I have no hope for this matter!"
After hearing this, Master Dai on the other end of the phone was obviously excited and said, "I am ashamed. I just know a little skill to make a living. I am really flattered that Doctor Zhang can introduce me to you like this!
If we talk about experts, it has to be Doctor Grasshopper! Doctor Zhang Jimin is a famous good doctor with superb medical skills and noble character. He is very prestigious in our Dongjiang City! Since he introduced me, I will do my best to do the best for you. Tell me your specific requirements. "
Hearing the other party start to echo his tone and engage in some business flattery, Xu Boan understood that the other party was willing to take his job.
Although Xu Bo'an didn't know what the connection and story between this silversmith and Zhang Jimin was, he felt relieved when he heard him speak so excitedly about Zhang Jimin. It seemed that he had found the right person.
Xu Boan said with relief: "Thank you very much, Master Dai. It's like this. I want to make some extended acupuncture needles, roughly double the length of the existing ones! Do you think it's feasible?" Master Dai was surprised when he heard it and said: "Double the length? I'm afraid it's a bit difficult.
To be honest, I have been exposed to the silversmith business since I was a child. I have watched my grandfather, parents, and me do it for more than 50 years. At the beginning, the business was pretty good, but later the competition was too fierce and I didn’t know how to sell, so the business plummeted. Later, I met Doctor Zhang by chance, and he asked me to make silver needles, which brought my business into a new track.
In order to meet his needs, I also made iron needles and ordinary steel needles. However, they are no longer in circulation because they are easy to rust and have poor elasticity, toughness and firmness.
The most common needles on the market now are stainless steel needles, which are cheap and easy to use. Even silver needles are rarely made. Only the old Chinese medicine practitioners in Dr. Zhang Jimin’s circle often ask me to make silver needles because they pursue perfection.
However, the silver needles they customize are usually standard ones. Although there have been customized styles, they are only longer than one centimeter. It is a bit unrealistic to make silver acupuncture needles with double the length as you said.
After all, silver is a material that is too soft, and acupuncture needles must be thin, but the thinner the silver, the harder it is to ensure that it does not deform!"
Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "Doctor Zhang Jimin also told me the same thing, so I want to ask you, if I change it to gold and make it into a golden needle, do you think it will work?"
"You mean, gold needles that are twice as long as standard acupuncture needles?" Master Dai asked in disbelief.
Xu Boan nodded and said, "That's right. See how long it will take you to finish it."
Master Dai paused for a moment before mumbling, "To be honest, I have taken on some jobs making gold jewelry, but I really have no experience in making gold acupuncture needles.
Acupuncture needles are different from other jewelry! The requirements for acupuncture needles are very high. Different materials and production processes are also different. I would like to do my best to make them for you.
But gold is really expensive, and I have never made it before, so I am afraid that the effect I make may not meet your expectations! If the gold is wasted, that would not be good, right! "
Xu Boan frowned slightly. After hearing all this, it was nothing more than that Master Dai was afraid of wasting precious gold!
However, this is not a difficult task for Xu Boan. After all, he is not short of money, and he has the little mole beast that can produce gold beans. Acupuncture needles are so thin that they should not consume too much gold!
If Master Dai can really make it, there will definitely be trial and error costs. Our Old Xu is not short of money, and Zhang Wenzhong has more money than he can spend!
As long as we can produce the required golden needles and cure Mrs. Zhang Wenzhong's illness, this little money will definitely be a drop in the bucket!
Xu Boan said immediately: "Money is not a problem. I can provide the raw materials. If Master Dai is willing to give it a try, I won't ask about the specific production process. I will rely on you! But I still want to know how long you think it will take to complete this matter!"
Master Dai on the other end of the phone said with some embarrassment: "If you want to make silver needles, it will be ready in a day. After all, our craftsmanship is second to none in Dongjiang City. But if it's gold needles, I really can't guarantee it! I can only say that I will give it a try first! After a day, I will give you a specific answer based on the situation."
Hearing this, Xu Bo'an also realized that Master Dai was not a man of big words.
It seems that the production of golden needles cannot be decided in the short term, but Xu Boan has no better idea.
After all, Master Dai has been exposed to this stuff since he was in his mother's womb, so he must know more than a layman like me!
After finishing these two phone calls, half an hour had passed.
Xu Boan had heard some noise downstairs a long time ago. After he washed up, got dressed and went downstairs, he found that it was Chen Pingping who had come.
But he is not at home now. I guess he went to the store in Wanda Shopping Mall.
This can be considered as a small tacit understanding between Xu Boan and Chen Pingping. The Central Courtyard is very close to Wanda Plaza. Chen Pingping usually comes early to prepare meals for Xu Boan, then goes to her own clothing store in the mall for a stroll, and goes to the supermarket in the mall to buy some vegetables.
After Xu Boan went to work, Chen Pingping came back to clean the house and then started preparing lunch!
Xu Boan usually doesn't come back at noon, so Chen Pingping just rests in his room here and makes soup or something in the afternoon. After Xu Boan comes back, she can go to the store to take stock of the day's business.
This time arrangement prevents the two people from being alone for too long, which would make each other feel awkward, and it leaves enough private space!
And he can take care of the food and daily life of his boss Xu Boan without leaving any trace!
Day after day, Chen Pingping and Xu Bo'an have become accustomed to this way of getting along with each other.
On the dining table, Chen Pingping had prepared breakfast as usual. Soup, vegetables, and staple foods were all neatly placed on the table. Xu Boan ate breakfast with satisfaction, but he did not forget to sigh in his heart: Life is so beautiful, but I am so impatient. This is not good, not good!
While eating breakfast, Xu Boan began to pay attention to the situation inside the bonsai as usual.
Xu Boan felt that life was so beautiful, and the little man in the bonsai was no exception. There was a peaceful scene in the bonsai. The sun had just risen, emitting soft light and covering the earth with a thin layer of golden gauze.
A large area of dense forest in the distance appeared more lush and green because of the water supply provided by Xu Bo'an over the past few days; the small people in the farmland not far away were doing their own business in an orderly manner, and Jin Dajian and others at the mountain temple also started to work while it was cool.
Looking closely, the small mountain village in the bonsai looks like a paradise on earth. It is just like the Peach Blossom Spring that the gentleman in the story of Peach Blossom Spring accidentally broke into.
When Xu Boan was thinking randomly, he suddenly saw Chen Shishi push open the door and walk out.
Chen Shishi was carrying a wooden bucket with wet hair, looking a little tired, but she still gritted her teeth stubbornly and moved towards the stairs of the earthen building step by step.
This piece of wood is heavy to begin with, and after it is filled with a full bucket of water, it is no longer something a weak woman like Chen Shishi can carry!
Just as she was about to go down the stairs, she heard a scream from the side: "Hey, Saint, please wait. You are the Saint chosen by the Mountain God. How can you do such rough work? I will do it for you. I am going down too."
Chen Shishi glanced over and saw that it was Zou Shengsheng. She smiled implicitly and said, "Master Zou, thank you for your kindness. I'm fine!"
Zou Shengsheng wanted to say something when he suddenly heard the mountain god calling his name in surprise.
"Hey! Zou Shengsheng! How could I forget about him! This is an expert!" (End of this chapter)
