Superpower: One glance for ten thousand years

"Xiaobao, is Boss Liu trying to give you a hint on purpose?"

Wang Xue followed and asked.

"He should know that the owner of Qiyuan Store accepted my materials, otherwise he wouldn't say so much nonsense."

Dou Xiaobao snorted.

"You have the final say over your material. Can't he steal it from you?"

"Who would bite their hand because they have too much money?"

"I really can't come here again. I can't make close friends with people who are too utilitarian."

"You're right. My performance during this period has indeed been too eye-catching and easily aroused jealousy."

"So where are you going to cut the stone?"

"Let's go to the boss' place and ask him why there's no movement from the boss who was planning to go to the Burmese store he mentioned last time."

"Didn't he just say that yesterday? Doesn't it make you look unstable if you ask this?"

"I really want to go to the Burmese store."

"How about I try to take you there?"

"Can you?"

"Of course you can, but I'm not familiar with that place. It's too complicated. I've never been there."

"Wouldn't it be terrible if I got cheated by someone I didn't know well?"

"When we see Boss Cao later, we can ask him around and see if the boss he mentioned can help us?"

"Okay, that's settled."

As they were talking, the two of them walked into the Myanmar rough stone store.

"You two are here, let's see if there is any suitable material?"

When Cao Xin saw Dou Xiaobao and the other person coming in, he hurriedly greeted them warmly.

"Fuck boss, what did you do with that piece of material yesterday?"

Dou Xiaobao asked.

"I unpacked everything and carved a decorative piece. What's wrong?"

"Who carved it?"

"A master, what's the problem?"

I don’t know why Dou Xiaobao asked this.

"I just went to Jinbaolai, and Boss Liu mentioned that piece of material."

"It's normal for him to know about such good material, but don't worry, I didn't ask anyone in his store for help."

This time, I understood why Dou Xiaobao asked this.

"The materials in his shop are indeed good, but he is the only real craftsman. The other two can do small jobs, but they are not good at carving ornaments."

"If it's carved, how much would it cost?"

"It's hard to say. I plan to take it to an exhibition to gain a good reputation for my store."

"Exhibition?"

"Yes, our Kyoto Jade Association holds several high-end material exhibitions a year, mainly to enhance the reputation of the Jade Association and attract some high-end customers."

"Who is participating?"

"Generally, they are merchants in the Jade Association. They will bring their top-quality materials to the exhibition to make a name for themselves and to sell them at a high price."

"You mean those high-end clients..."

"There are some prominent figures and wealthy businessmen in Kyoto who like these genuine and top-quality jadeite."

"What price would a piece of material like the one I sold you yesterday fetch at the exhibition?"

"It's hard to say, but two or three times the price should be no problem."

"So powerful?"

"Brother, it's not as good as you think. The material like yesterday's is hard to come by."

Cao Xin said.

"The carving masters are usually masters in the industry. If I want to hire them, the price will be about the same as the price you sell me for the material."

“Even if the price is tripled, if it can’t be sold, it will still be a loss in your hands.”

"For small traders like us, if our working capital is cut off, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Fuck boss, if you were a small trader, would other people still be alive?"

Dou Xiaobao smiled.

"Brother, I am telling the truth. People like me are just trying to earn some hard-earned money, but the big money goes to masters like you and the top masters in the industry."

"When is the boss you mentioned yesterday going to the Burmese store? I feel like the materials here are average, so why not go out and take a look?"

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that Boss Li called you this morning to ask about it."

"How to say?"

"He wants to visit the Burmese store these past two days. Do you have time?"

"In the last two days? Sure."

Dou Xiaobao thought for a moment and said.

"I wonder if the boss Li you mentioned is familiar with the Burmese store?"

"Of course he is familiar with it. He has a very good relationship with General Su over there, otherwise he wouldn't have bought the raw stones directly from there at a low price."

"If I find high-quality jade there, can I ask him to bring it back?"

"Of course you can, but General Su over there also likes top-quality jadeite very much. If you really find good material, you can sell it directly to General Su through Boss Li. He is very generous."

“Isn’t the Myanmar Kyat worthless?”

"How could General Su trade with you in Myanmar currency? If you can find the best jadeite, you can exchange it for gold."

"gold?"

"Yes, that's hard currency."

“Is it easy to bring back the gold?”

"Just give these to Boss Li. There's nothing he can't bring back."

"I wonder how Boss Li charges?"

"You can discuss this between yourselves. I don't know the specifics. If you're speculating, maybe he'll bring it back for you for free."

"I wonder where this Boss Li you mentioned is now?"

"I came from Kyoto this morning by high-speed train."

"You came by high-speed rail? Isn't Boss Li from Kyoto?"

"No, his family is from the provincial capital."

"Oh, I wonder if you could give me his phone number?"

"I gave him your phone number. He should contact you in the next two days."

"Okay then, I'll wait for his call."

After Dou Xiaobao finished speaking, he walked inside.

"Any good stuff?"

"Yes, come with me."

Cao Xin brought Dou Xiaobao into the room and opened a giant safe.

Most of the materials inside are for window openings, and only a small part is for covering the heads.

"Brother, can you see if there is anything suitable? If there is, I can give it to you at a lower price."

"How much are these?"

"It's hard to say. Generally speaking, the price of window opening materials is no less than 500,000 yuan. As for the material for covering the head, the minimum price is 100,000 yuan per kilogram."

"Isn't this too expensive?"

"It's expensive for a reason, and you won't let your money go to waste."

"May I take a look at it?"

"Of course. There aren't many customers right now anyway. You can take your time to look around."

After hearing what Cao Xin said, Dou Xiaobao got started right away.

The window material really performs well.

But mostly only the windows are good, there is really nothing good inside.

I have to say that the person who opened the window is really good, showing the best side of the material.

This is just him. If it were someone else, he would probably lose his pants.

"How much are these two pieces?"

Dou Xiaobao picked out a piece of material for the window and a piece of material for the head covering.

"Do you want anything else?"

"No, I bought too much material these two days."

"Shall we check the scales?"

"it is good."

Dou Xiaobao said this as he picked up the material and walked outside.
