Chapter 447
Now that they decided to open a jade shop, Lin Si and Bai Rubing concentrated on investigating the jade shops in central Beijing, visiting all the big and small ones, and it took two or three days.

In Beijing, or the whole of Dayan, when it comes to inverting jade, it must be Yuyuanfang.

Not only did they have their own jade mine, but they also recruited the most famous jade carvers in Dayan, so no matter how expensive the price was, the supply was in short supply.

Lin Si and the others are a small business, of course the first step will not be too big. The first step is just like Jiang Teng said, to seize the low-end market and the customers who cannot afford Yuyuanfang, then they The raw materials must not be too expensive, and a jade carving master with good craftsmanship must be hired.

Now it's time for Jiang Teng to play again.

He has traveled to so many places, not to mention that he knows all the places he passed by, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that he knows the situation around the capital like the back of his hand.

And just ten miles north of Kyoto, there happened to be a jade mine.

"Really?!" Lin Si's eyes widened in surprise, "I didn't even know."

"Of course you don't know, how many years have you been out of Beijing?"

After Jiang Teng finished speaking, Lin Si glared at her and complained, "It's not that I don't want to go out, it's that I can't. You guys can go wherever you want, how can you understand us."

"Ace, I didn't mean to."

Jiang Teng was very good at admitting his mistake, and immediately apologized, "Tomorrow, tomorrow, I will take you out to see the mine, okay?"

"That's about the same." Lin Si looked at Jiang Teng arrogantly, and continued to frown, "But there is no master jade carving yet, so we can't sell ore either."

"Take it easy, Ah Si, the problem will definitely be solved." Jiang Teng touched Lin Si's head, "If it doesn't work, I'll carve it for you."

Jiang Teng has indeed done some research on jade carving, and the pendant Lin Si is wearing around his neck was carved by Jiang Teng from raw ore.

But it is simply impossible for a person who has to squeeze in time to chat with me to carve jade for me.

"Let's go to the mine tomorrow to have a look, maybe we can dig there."

Lin Si dragged her head and muttered.

Jiang Teng pinched the flesh from Lin Si's cheek that was squeezed out, and said with a smile: "Even if it doesn't work, let Aunt Shu help out. It's the first time A Si does business, Aunt Shu will never just sit idly by Yes."

Lin Si knocked off Jiang Teng's hand in dissatisfaction, and said annoyedly, "I'm swollen from being pinched by you."

Immediately, she shook her head, her voice soft, "I don't want to look for my mother, I've done everything by myself before, but why didn't I finish the last step?"

"Ace..."

Looking at Lin Si's face that has lost a lot of weight, Jiang Teng began to think in his heart whether he had done a wrong thing by helping her open a store.

"Don't worry about it!" Lin Si quickly finished. He slapped the table and stood up, regaining his majestic look, "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge! I don't believe it. In Kyoto, there is no jade carving master!"

"Okay." Jiang Teng also smiled, "I have a few colleagues who like to collect some jade ornaments, let me see if I can find out."

Ah Si didn't give up, how could he retreat first?As long as she likes to do it, she must support it to the end.

The next day, Lin Si got up early and ate the breakfast brought by Jiang Teng in the carriage, while listening to the other party talk about the general situation of the mine.

"It was only mined in recent years, and the quality is average, so the sales in the capital are not very good, and most of them are transported to the small counties around Kyoto."

Jiang Teng flipped through the materials he had sorted out overnight, and told Lin Si the key points.

Lin Si wiped the oil from his mouth, and studied a few pieces of jade pendants brought by Jiang Teng, which are said to be carved out of the jade from the mine, "I think the quality is okay, you look at the pieces, feel the cold It is smooth and the sound is good, but there is a little more cotton wool."

"It's not bad in other places, but in Kyoto, many people don't like it when it is set off by Yuyuanfang." Jiang Teng said.

"That's what you said."

Lin Si nodded. Before she decided to open a jade shop, she didn't even know how to look at this kind of jade.

The mine was not far away, and the two arrived soon.

Lin Si was helped out of the carriage by Jiang Teng, and sneezed loudly as soon as her feet hit the ground.

"There must be too much dust here." Lin Si held her nose and said in a low voice.

Jiang Teng had indeed heard that the environment in the mine was harsh, but he did not expect the severity to be worse than he had imagined, and regretted bringing Lin Si here.

Hurry up and wrap the prepared face towel around Lin Si, and then lead people inside at Lin Si's insistence.

"Fortunately, I didn't let sister Bai come, otherwise my elder brother would scold me to death."

Lin Si stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, but it had no effect on the flying dust that penetrated everywhere, so he had to give up.

Jiang Teng ignored Lin Si's teasing, and reminded him one last time: "Do you remember our plan?"

Lin Sibi gestured that there was no problem, and Jiang Teng grabbed her and hurried to the place where the jade mines were piled up.

"Hey, little brother, here and here,"

In the distance, a disheveled man waved at the two of them, "Aren't you from Beijing to see what to expect?"

"We are."

Jiang Teng guarded Lin Si behind, and said simply and neatly: "Take out all your materials, and then find a cleaner place to look at them."

"Hey, good, good." The man saw that both of them were dressed in clothes that were either rich or expensive, and they were young, so he knew that he would definitely make a lot of money by fooling around, so he immediately nodded and called a little man beside him to come over, " Quickly take these two distinguished guests to the front to rest."

Although this mine is crude and crude, it has been done very quickly.

Lin Si and the others went to the living room within a quarter of an hour, and all kinds of jade materials were placed on the table.

"My lord, my lady, take a look, this is all the materials we have here." The man wiped the sweat from his dark face and said with a naive smile.

It was the first time for Lin Si to see so many unpolished jade materials, so he touched them curiously.Jiang Teng seemed to be a little more calm than her. He didn't do anything, but just looked at the jade materials expressionlessly.

"Hey, this lady has a good eye." Seeing that Lin Si's eyes stopped on a piece of jade, the man immediately went forward and boasted, "This is the best material here, and even the Yuyuanfang in Kyoto can't beat it." Something went wrong."

"Really? Are you here to supply Yuyuanfang?" Lin Si picked up the fist-sized piece of jade and looked at it against the light, "Yes, it seems to be really good."

"Of course, this is the only kind of material that can enter Yuyuanfang here. I think you two also know that the materials that can be accepted by Yuyuanfang are all the top jade materials of Dayan..."

The man was still bragging eloquently, but Jiang Teng was tired of hearing it, so he threw the things in Lin Si's hand on the table, wiped her hands carefully with a handkerchief, and then said coldly to the man, "Boss, we I came to see the material sincerely. Yuyuanfang has a special jade mine, and never collects jade from outside. This is something that can be known after a little inquiring. Since you treat us as fools, then we don’t need to do business .”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Teng pulled Lin Si and was about to leave. The man hurriedly stopped the two of them, nodded and bowed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I definitely don't mean that. Even if it's not for Yuyuanfang, it's still a good idea." The jade material, you two, take a look again, let's take a look again."

The man talked all kinds of things, and promised many benefits, so Jiang Teng took Lin Si back "reluctantly".

In a corner where the man couldn't see, Lin Si secretly gave Jiang Teng a thumbs up, and mouthed: "This move is brilliant."

Jiang Teng smiled reservedly, and continued to bargain with the man.
