Chapter 81 Perfect Divine Product
"No, I'm old now. Time is not forgiving. I used to be able to perform this Phoenix Dance in the Sky without blushing or breathing hard! Now I can only perform it with difficulty!"
"However, it is worth it even if I close my eyes now to see the beauty of the phoenix robe again before I die!"
Old Mrs. Lin took a few deep breaths and finally said after she felt uncomfortable and stopped panting.
"Ah, the nine forms are perfectly displayed. This is the most perfect phoenix shawl. It's a pity that the master who embroidered such a masterpiece has also passed away. This is the greatest loss in the history of modern embroidery!"
Appraisal master Old Lady Li sighed and said.
Several old ladies were studying the needlework of the phoenix shawl. Manager Wang was not idle either. He invited Zhao Shi to sit down at his desk and said, "Mr. Zhao, are you sure you want to sell this phoenix shawl?"
"Sure!"
Zhao Shi nodded.
To him, this is ultimately just a vulgar thing, and it would be better to exchange it for money. Moreover, once he has money, he can develop faster in the other world.
This is a virtuous cycle.
In the face of extraordinary temptation, everything has to give way to it.
"Mr. Zhao, you know how rare this phoenix cape is. It is priceless. It is really difficult for me to bid for it. Why don't you entrust us to auction it?"
"Just now, when Elder Lin performed the Phoenix Dance to the Nine Heavens, I took a video. I believe there will be a satisfactory price!"
When Manager Wang heard that Zhao Shi was sure to sell, the smile on his face suddenly became much brighter.
"Wait a minute, Xiao Wang!" At this time, Old Mrs. Lin spoke and interrupted Manager Wang.
"What happened to Grandma Lin?"
Manager Wang asked curiously.
These masters never get involved in business matters.
"Mr. Zhao, I want to buy this phoenix bridal gown, is that possible?" Old Mrs. Lin just waved to Manager Wang and turned to look at Zhao Shidao.
Well.
Zhao Shi thought that these old ladies might keep the phoenix bridal robe, but this was an internal matter of their Babaozhai. He did not expect that the old ladies would buy it directly from him.
"Ten million after tax. Even at auction, it is estimated that the price will not reach this level! After all, this is a modern work. Perhaps in a hundred years, the price of this phoenix bridal robe will increase tenfold or even a hundredfold. But now, as a modern product, ten million is already the ceiling price!" said Old Lady Lin when she saw Zhao Shi in a daze.
"Master Lin, I'm sorry, I'll talk to Manager Wang about this first. If she's not satisfied with the price, or doesn't want to buy it, I'll sell it to you!"
Zhao Shi didn't know about their internal affairs, nor would he care about them, but since doing business there must be a first come first served principle, and this phoenix bridal bridal was not Zhao Shi's main purpose at all. Those ordinary, fine and precious embroidery were his purpose.
No matter how expensive the phoenix robe is, it is a one-time transaction.
But what about ordinary embroidery?
But it is a long-term business, and it is related to his plan for incense offerings. Zhao Shi will naturally not cut off the route to Babaozhai just because of Mrs. Lin’s price.
Several old ladies and Manager Wang were stunned when they heard what Zhao Shi said.
At this time, several people looked at Zhao Shi with a new respect.
Before, in their opinion, Zhao Shi was a cunning businessman, but now? He was a businessman with a little contract spirit.
Don't underestimate this difference. Few people can do this nowadays.
Manager Wang saw Zhao Shi looking at him, so he said, "Mr. Zhao, if it is auctioned, it may not be sold at this price. And if you want to sell it directly to our store, we can only offer 5 million. Grandma Lin wants it, but we at Babaozhai can't offer this price. Mr. Zhao, you can do whatever you want!"
Hearing what Manager Wang said, Zhao Shi nodded, but did not rush to express his opinion. Instead, he said to Manager Wang: "Manager Wang, this phoenix cape is just one of them. I also brought some ordinary embroidery works. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to take a look?"
"Mr. Zhao, thank you for your trust. It is an honor for our Babaozhai!" Manager Wang said with a smile.
As Zhao Shi spoke, he opened the suitcase and placed the embroidery works in the suitcase on the desk. At this time, Master Li put on a pair of white cotton gloves and stepped forward to identify the embroidery on the table.
The reason I wear gloves is because I’m afraid that if there’s rough skin on my hands, the embroidery thread might get caught.
“Ordinary embroidery does not have a large surface area and is only suitable for making small items such as handkerchiefs, fans, bellybands, etc.
"But these embroideries are made with the same needlework as the phoenix shawl!"
"What's the price? We at Babaozhai can sell them for 500 each. These exquisite embroideries can be used to make skirts and tops, and we can sell them for 20,000 each!"
"This last treasure?"
“If it’s not a work by a famous master, even if it’s a treasure, the price will be different from that of a real master!”
"But it's different now. With this divine phoenix cape as the base, we can offer a treasure of the same embroidery system for half a million. This price is already far higher than that of ordinary masters!"
After looking through all the embroidery, Master Li gave the appraisal result and price. Originally, the price could not be announced right now, as she was only responsible for the appraisal, and the final price was negotiated by Manager Wang and Zhao Shi. However, because the phoenix bridal gown was in front of her, she was also afraid of any mishaps, so she directly gave the highest price that Babaozhai could offer.
"make a deal!"
"I wonder if your store will still accept embroidery in the future?"
Zhao Shi nodded and asked.
Manager Wang heard what Zhao Shi said and knew what he meant, so he smiled proudly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, no matter how big the amount is, we at Babaozhai can eat it!"
What Zhao Shi gained today was an exclusive supply contract and more than 10 million yuan in deposits in his bank card.
It can be said to be a good harvest.
Of course, there would not be so much money next time, but even ordinary embroidery could bring in nearly a million yuan in revenue, and the cost? Only nine taels.
This makes much more money than reselling gold and jade between the two worlds, and it is also concealed.
The biggest gain is still the incense.
This made Zhao Shi feel that his original decision was right.
As for worship?
It's just the owner's habit.
No one would think too much about it.
Zhao Shi took some time to check out the situation in the other world. Nothing went wrong. It was still quiet at night. People in the tavern were fast asleep. Granny Cui and her family were still talking in low voices. Ling'er and her daughter had also fallen asleep long ago.
After walking around, Zhao Shi came back again.
Now that he had money, the first thing Zhao Shi wanted to do was to change his house.
Not renting, but buying.
A three-bedroom apartment with ready-to-move-in status was Zhao Shi’s request.
Now is a cold winter for the real estate industry. When the real estate agent heard that Zhao Shi wanted to buy a house, his enthusiasm was beyond imagination. When he heard Zhao Shi's request and that Zhao Shi wanted to pay in full, he helped him screen out three houses in less than ten minutes.
In the end, Zhao Shi chose a 138-square-meter high-rise apartment and spent nearly six million yuan.
Because the payment was in full, the transfer was completed in less than two hours.
The main reason why Zhao Shi chose to buy a house was to provide a guarantee for his parents' future.
The consciousness or soul often goes to other worlds. Even if he is the ancestral spirit, he cannot guarantee his own safety. After all, the ancestral spirits are not immortal. Once he really has a problem, with this house as a foundation, his parents' later life can be said to be guaranteed.
Before dark, Zhao Shi finally moved all his belongings to his new home.
Although he said it was all his belongings, he actually didn't have much stuff. Apart from boxes of diaries, the rest were just some clothes and bedding.
After everything was packed, Zhao Shi took a few photos in the house and sent them to his parents, saying, "Mom and Dad, I bought a house."
Zhao Jiayu!
Father Zhao was chatting with a group of elderly people in the village under the big locust tree at the gate of the village committee.
Where was Zhao's mother? She was also chatting with the group of old ladies not far away.
"Seventh Brother, I heard that your son has become rich?" An old man who was a few years older than Zhao Guoqiang asked curiously after handing Zhao's father a cigarette.
There are no real secrets in the village.
Today, it can be said that everyone knows that Zhao Shi spent 100,000 yuan to buy a tablet for the ancestor yesterday.
"No, what's there to give? It's all hard-earned money!" Father Zhao said with a bitter face, but he couldn't hide the smile on his lips.
"Okay, Old Seven, laugh if you want to. But this kid is worthy of being the top scholar when he was young. Even if he has been muddle-headed for twenty years, this disease can just help him make a lot of money!"
"You two have finally come to this point after all the hardship."
This man was a brother of Zhao's father, so naturally he saw Zhao's father's appearance, patted Zhao's father on the shoulder in an unhappily manner and said.
"Yes, after all the hardship comes happiness!" Father Zhao sighed and said with emotion.
This family has truly come to terms with the hardships that have come before.
Not only did he buy the house and land, his son also became successful, and the news of spending 100,000 yuan to buy a tablet for the ancestor spread in the village. Now no one talked about Zhao Shi's illness anymore, but everyone talked about Zhao Shi's success, and he was worthy of being the top scholar.
