God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1010
For a meal, both the host and the guest enjoyed the meal, and of course Xu Jingxing, the big winner, was the one who paid the bill in the end.

Xu Jingxing would not have dared to imagine spending as little as 2 yuan on a single meal, but now he didn't feel like spending 2 yuan, but 20 yuan.

Is this what it's like to be rich?
Don't say it, it's really good.

Xu Jingxing was secretly a little proud, because from now on he could barely be considered a rich man. Although his assets had not exceeded nine figures, the eight-figure self-allocated cash was scary enough. Some so-called Businessmen with assets of over [-] million may not be so rich, because assets are not the same as cash, and many businessmen do business with debts on their backs.

And this is also the first time he has so many you at his disposal, naturally it is another feeling.

As for whether he could make more money in the future, he never doubted himself, which is why he still dared to spend money extravagantly when he didn't have much cash in his pocket.

There is no way, craftsmen are so confident, as long as their skills are not lost, they are not afraid of having nothing to eat, and they are not afraid of not being able to make money. The difference is only making big money or making small money.

Now he is obviously earning a lot of money.

Of course, this big money is only a relative term. In the eyes of other wood carvers, he makes a lot of money; but in the eyes of some other craftsmen, the speed and scale of his money can only be regarded as routine operations. .

For example, Liu Zhengxian, who was hated by him and couldn't find the north, really said that his artistic creation ability is not as good as him, but because the jade carving craftsmanship is valuable, the net profit of Tiangongtang is very high, and it is said that it can reach the ninth place every year number.Although this figure is not earned simply by selling craftsmanship, Tiangongtang also wholesales jade materials and then processes them in person before selling them through its own channels, but even so, this profit is scary enough.

If it were him, even if he worked in the handmade shop every day, he wouldn't be able to earn [-] million in a year.

Don't look at him earning as much as 600 million in [-] days this time, but such a good thing is not common, maybe only once or twice a year, because the woodcarving market is relatively small Yes, it won't be long before it's saturated.Moreover, there are not many local tyrants who spend so much money to buy a set of woodcarving works. Most people still prefer to see handicrafts such as gold and jade with higher appreciation potential and longer shelf life.

To give another example, there is a listed company in China that is engaged in the jadeite business. From the perspective of the book, the company’s operating conditions are extremely poor, with little profit and a debt of more than 100 billion to the bank. After the exposure, they didn’t leave the market, because their money was used to buy goods, to be precise, they were used to buy rough jadeite, and almost all their profits were used to buy rough jadeite, and they were not in a hurry to cash in after they bought it. , but put it in the warehouse and wait for appreciation.

The nearly tens of billions of cash borrowed from the bank are also used in this regard.

That is to say, there are more than 100 billion jade rough stones in their warehouses, and this is still the cost price.

So there is such a batch of ballast stones, people are not in a hurry, even the banks are not in a hurry, because they all know that jadeite is a non-renewable resource, and the quantity is scarce, and the appreciation potential is high. As long as there are goods, there is no fear of running out of money.

But wood is no good. Red sandalwood is already the top wood in the wood, and it is also rare, but trees can still grow, even if it takes 100 years, it needs to count 10 like emerald. This is nothing compared to the natural resources that can only be generated in tens of thousands or even millions of years.

Therefore, after the hype, the market prices of all kinds of top-quality wood have fallen sharply, and it is still good to cut them in half. For materials like golden nanmu, the market price is only one-tenth of the peak period. Even a few tenths.

Therefore Xu Jingxing knew very well that woodcarving could make money, but not a lot of money.

But he doesn't want to underestimate himself. His current economic situation is much better than two years ago, and he has nothing to dissatisfy. The reason why he still wants to enter the jade carving industry is nothing more than instinct. After all, self-motivation is such a thing , No one is lacking, as long as there is motivation and strength, it is natural to make progress.

It's just that this thing has to be taken step by step, and you can't break it and throw it away like a black bear breaking corn.

But now, his top priority is to further build up his reputation. In the past two years, he has been patronizing to make money, and he really hasn't made much effort in this area. Otherwise, relying on the east wind of CCTV, he can already ride the wind.

Unfortunately, he didn't.

Fortunately, he has a lot of opportunities, and his conditions are better than most of his peers. As long as he is determined to develop in a certain direction, basically there will not be too much resistance.

On the contrary, his reputation in the antique shop is getting better and better. Although he just found some treasures by the way, those treasures are all high-quality goods. With the backing of Jingwei Auction, and friends like Lin Xiaoya, plus the series of events caused by "The Autumn Colors of Magpie Blossoms", his reputation in the antique shop is really very high, and even has a certain reputation among the people.

There is no way, who asked him to come under the name of a donor of "The Autumn Colors of Magpie Blossoms". Although the country did not publicize it, some newspapers still reported it, and there were even more news on the Internet.

So much so that he is determined to be a professional collector or appraiser or something, and the speed of making money is not as bad as that of a craftsman.

But after thinking about it, I still think that treasure hunting or collecting should be a part-time job. There is no need to give up his craftsmanship just to make money, because craftsmanship can be passed down forever.

When parting from Teng Liang and the others, Han Zhengang suddenly said, "Xiao Xu, I have a treasure-appreciation program here, and I still need a guest. Are you interested?"

Xu Jingxing was taken aback, "Where is the show?"

"The one hosted by Capital Satellite TV is a Spring Festival special. There are seven episodes in total. It will be recorded within a week. The audition will start tomorrow, and the recording will start in three days. I'm sure it won't delay your Chinese New Year."

He was really moved, and turned to look at his sister: "Are you interested?"

His sister blinked and asked, "Is it fun?"

"It should be pretty good, recording the show, maybe you can show your face."

"Yeah."

Only then did he say to Han Zhengang, "I'm interested, but are you sure I have the qualifications?"
