Seeing that Boss Li didn't understand what he said, Xu Bo'an said slightly unhappy: "Overseas? Can you tell me which country?"
Boss Li smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry. Lao Li is a rough guy. The name of that country is too long, and it’s also his English name. We really can’t remember it, and we don’t understand it either.
We didn’t mean to hide it. Yours, don’t you think I’d like to call you first to see if the goods are still available, and then ask my secretary to contact your secretary, and we’ll discuss this matter in detail, don’t you think so?”
When Xu Boan heard this, he realized that he had misunderstood Boss Li.
It turns out that Boss Li thought that he was also the boss of the company like him, and was thinking of following the normal company-to-company process to finalize the deal.
After thinking about this, Xu Boan said apologetically: "Boss Li, I'm sorry, maybe Mr. Lu didn't make it clear to you. The wood in my hand belongs to me personally and belongs to our company. It doesn't matter, I am doing the deal with you personally, you can just ask your secretary to contact me directly.
And to tell you the truth, my batch of wood is also abroad, so I want to ask you clearly. , maybe we can make the transfer there and trade directly.”
Xu Boan’s wood is naturally not from abroad, but in the bonsai world.
But for Xu Boan, as long as he is in the bonsai world, it means that he can take it out anytime and anywhere.
In this case, as long as you apply for a tourist visa and travel abroad, you can trade abroad.
This also avoids a lot of trouble.
Boss Li on the other end of the phone was surprised and said: "Oh, there's a big misunderstanding. Let's do this. It's not appropriate for my secretary to contact you, Mr. Xu. The identities are not equal. We, Mr. Li, attach great importance to Mr. Xu. It’s all yours, otherwise, Mr. Xu, when you have time, I’ll take my secretary to talk to you in person, do you think it’s feasible?”
Xu Bo’an saw that the other party was also very sincere, so he Said: "That's really great. Generally speaking, I have time on weekends. Whenever Boss Li can come over, we can meet at any time."
Boss Li is quite generous. He immediately said: "Well, how about this Sunday!"
Xu Bo'an smiled and responded: "No problem. Then it's settled."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Boan looked at the huanghuali trees previously found in the bonsai again, and then smiled comfortably. These ordinary building materials in the bonsai world, after taking them out, turned out to be precious wood!
After counting the huanghuali trees in the bonsai, Xu Boyan found an astonishing number of more than a hundred!
Xu Bo'an remembered clearly that when Jin Dajian and the others were harvesting wood, he unexpectedly discovered that the agarwood trees the little guys talked about were actually Huanghuali trees that are rare in the real world. He also counted them at that time, and there were only There are more than thirty plants.
Because this thing is expensive, Xu Boan remembers it quite clearly, but there are so many more huanghuali trees now. Could it be that he counted them wrong before?
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 the ground within the bonsai.
Xu Bo'an was stunned for a moment, and then he figured it out. Later, he spent a lot of incense and energy to expand the scope of the bonsai.
Think of it, these extra huanghuali trees are already there in these places.
This is a huge fortune.
Xu Bo'an was happy for a while, then he remembered that he still had something serious to do!
Customized extended acupuncture needles!
Finding out 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 Boan began to introduce himself: "Hello, is this Master Dai?"
The person on the other side of the phone did not admit it, but did not deny it either. He asked calmly: "Well, who are you?"
Xu Bo'an also understood the other party's caution. After all, to the other party, his phone number was a strange one, and the caller was also a strange one. people,
For many people, for this kind of phone call, they must first identify the identity and intentions of the other party before they can prepare the content of the next chat.
It’s like many people like to send “Are you there” first when chatting on WeChat?
The person who received the message was very depressed.
You didn’t say anything? How do I know whether I should be "present" or "absent"?
I want to say "in"!
What should I do if you cause trouble for me?
I want to say "not here"!
What if you invite me to dinner?
So, when sending a message to find someone, just tell them directly and don’t ask if they are there!
After careful consideration, they are still willing to answer your questions and will answer you directly!
If you don’t reply, it’s a normal rejection!
However, on the phone, you must still say a polite greeting. As long as the other party does not hang up the phone, they must immediately explain the key points of the call.
Xu Bo'an smiled and introduced himself: "Hello, Master Dai, I was introduced to you by Dr. Zhang Jimin from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of Dongjiang No. 2 Hospital. I want to customize a set of extended acupuncture needles. ,
Doctor Zhang said that it is not easy to do, so he recommended you. He said that you are very skilled and you are a well-deserved expert! If you can't do it, then there is no hope for me! "
After hearing this, Master Dai on the other end of the phone was obviously very excited and said: "I'm ashamed, I'm just a little bit of a living craft. Doctor Zhang, he can introduce me to you like this. , I’m really flattered!
If I want to talk about the master, it has to be Dr. Grasshopper! Dr. Zhang Jimin is a well-known doctor, with superb medical skills and noble moral character. In our Dongjiang City, But it’s very prestigious! Since he introduced me, I will try my best to do my best for you. Please tell me your specific requirements.”
Hearing the other person’s tone began to echo his own. After exchanging business blows, Xu Boan understood that the other party was willing to take over his job.
Although Xu Bo'an didn't know the connection and story between the silversmith and Zhang Jimin, Xu Bo'an felt relieved when he heard his excited tone when he mentioned Zhang Jimin. It seemed that he had found the right person.
Xu Bo'an said happily: "Thank you so much, Master Dai. That's it. I want to make some lengthened acupuncture needles, which will roughly double the existing acupuncture needles! You Is it possible?" Master Dai said in shock: "Double the length? This is probably a bit difficult.
To be honest, I have been involved in the silversmithing business since I was a child. It has been more than 50 years since I started working with my grandparents, my parents, and then my generation. At the beginning, the business was not bad, but later the competition became too fierce. , I didn’t know how to sell, and my business plummeted. Later, I met Dr. Zhang by chance, and he asked me to make silver needles. This took my business to a new track.
In order to meet his needs at first, I also made iron needles and ordinary steel needles. Since they are easy to rust and have poor elasticity, toughness and firmness, they are no longer in circulation.
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. That is to say, the old Chinese medicine practitioners in Dr. Zhang Jimin’s circle often come to me to make silver needles because they pursue perfection.
However, they usually customize standard silver needles. Although there are also customized styles, they only grow within a centimeter. The double length you mentioned is used to make silver acupuncture. Needle, a little unrealistic.
After all, the characteristics of silver are that it is too soft, and the requirement for acupuncture needles is to be thin, but the thinner the silver, the harder it is to ensure that it does not deform! "
Xu Bo'an said with a smile: "Doctor Zhang Jimin also told me this, so I want to ask you, if it is replaced with gold, do you think it is feasible to make it into a gold needle? "
"You mean, a gold needle that is twice the length of a standard acupuncture needle? "Master Dai asked in disbelief.
Xu Bo'an nodded and said: "Yes, look, how long it will take you to make it. "
Master Dai paused for a while, then muttered: "To be honest, our old Dai has also taken over some work of making gold jewelry, but he really has no experience in making gold acupuncture needles.
Acupuncture needles are different from other jewelry items! Acupuncture needles have very high requirements. Different materials and production processes are also different. I would like to try my best to make them for you,
However, gold is really expensive, and I have never made it before, so I am afraid that the effect will not meet your expectations! It wouldn't be good if gold was wasted, right? "
Xu Bo'an frowned slightly. After hearing all this, it was just that Master Dai was afraid of wasting precious gold!
But this is not a difficult problem for Xu Bo'an. After all, he is not short of money now, and the little pangolin can produce golden beans. The acupuncture needles are so thin, they shouldn’t consume too much gold!
If Master Dai can really make them, he will definitely do it! There is a cost of trial and error, and we, Mr. Xu, are not short of money, and Zhang Wenzhong has more money than he can spend!
As long as we can produce legal gold needles and cure Mrs. Zhang Wenzhong’s illness, this little money will definitely be enough. It's drizzle!
Xu Bo'an said immediately: "Money is not an issue. I can provide the raw materials. If you are willing to try it, Master Dai, I won't care about the specific production. It's all up to you!" But I still want to know how long do you think it will take to get this done! "
Master Dai on the other end of the phone said with some embarrassment: "If you want to make silver needles, you can do it in one day. After all, our craftsmanship is second in Dongjiang City, and no one dares to say that we are first, but if As for golden needles, I really don’t dare to vouch for it! All I can say is give it a try first! One day later, I will give you a specific answer based on the situation. "
Hearing this, Xu Bo'an also saw that Master Dai is not a big talker.
It seems that the matter of making gold needles will not be settled for a while, but Xu Bo'an There is no better way.
After all, Master Dai has been exposed to this thing since he was born, so he knows more than a layman like me!
After finishing these two phone calls, half an hour has passed.
Xu Bo'an had long heard something moving downstairs. After Xu Bo'an washed up, got dressed and went downstairs, he realized that Chen Pingping had come.
It’s just that I’m not at home now. I must have gone to the store in Wanda Mall.
This can be regarded 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, and then goes to her own clothing store in the mall for a walk. Circle, stop by the supermarket in the mall to buy some vegetables.
Then after Xu Boan went to work, Chen Pingping came back to clean up the house, and then started preparing lunch!
Xu Bo'an usually doesn't come back at noon, so Chen Pingping rests in her room here and waits until the afternoon to make soup or something. After Xu Bo'an comes back, she can go to the store to take stock of the business situation at the end of the day. .
With this kind of time arrangement, the two of them will not be alone for too long and appear embarrassed to each other, leaving enough private space!
You can also take good care of the owner Xu Bo'an's food and daily life without leaving any trace!
Day after day, Chen Pingping and Xu Boan 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 food were all available, and they were neatly placed on the dining table. Xu Bo'an ate his breakfast happily, not forgetting 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 habitually pay attention to the situation inside the bonsai.
Xu Bo'an feels that life is really beautiful, and the little man in the bonsai is no exception at this time. There is a peaceful scene in the bonsai. The sun has just risen, exuding a soft light, covering the earth with a thin layer. Thin gold yarn.
A large dense forest in the distance is even more lush and lush because of the water source Xu Boan has provided these days; the little people in the cultivated land not far away are doing their own business in an orderly manner. Jin Dajian and the others at the temple also started to work while it was cool.
Looking carefully, the small mountain village in the bonsai looks like a paradise. It is nothing more than the Peach Blossom Land that the gentleman in Peach Blossom Spring accidentally broke into.
While Xu Boan was thinking randomly, he suddenly saw Chen Shishi opening the door and walking out.
Chen Shishi was carrying a wooden bucket with wet hair. She looked a little struggling, but she gritted her teeth stubbornly and moved towards the stairs of the earth building step by step.
This wood is already heavy, and after holding a bucket full of water, it is not something that a weak woman like Chen Shishi can carry!
Just as I was about to go down the stairs, I heard a scream from the side: "Ah, saint, stay here. You are the saint appointed by the mountain god. How can I let you do such a rough job? I Come and do it for me. I just want to go down."
Chen Shishi looked sideways and saw Zou Shengsheng, and smiled implicitly and said, "Master Zou, thank you for your kindness. I'll be fine. !”
Zou Shengsheng wanted to say something else, but suddenly he heard Grandpa Mountain God call his name in surprise.
"Eh! Zou Shengsheng! Why did I forget about him! This is the expert!" (End of Chapter)
