Chapter 220: Chicken Soup For The Soul By Angel ShenTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The jewelry stall had been opened by Zhou Huan for a few years before Zhang Jingyi and Lin Sen joined in. Within two years, they became a hot-selling handmade jewelry stall in Spring Court Fair. Shen Qianshu knew them well and often bought from their stall.
“Personal customization?” Lin Sen was a little surprised.
If it were others, they would have rejected them straight away. However, Shen Qianshu was different. She was a decent and well-known lady, and they knew that she was a marvelous appraiser. As a result, they respected her a lot and called her Sister Shu.
“Are you interested?”
“Sister Shu, our little stall may not seem like much, but we have almost enough money to get ourselves a house,” Zhang Jingyi said. “If we give it up, it’ll be a bit of a pity.”
“No one wants you to give it up! This is indeed a little stall. All the designs are made by y’all, and the style is very unique. This little stall is bringing in the money too. I’m not one to disrupt your path of fortune, and you can just hire a professional to manage these. You don’t have to do it on your own.”
Back then, Shen Qianshu had worked along the Paris Art Street, brainwas.h.i.+ng people for the sake of money. She was so good at it. If she could get some artworks at a lower price, she would instantly sell it away at a high price. Hence, she had trained herself to be eloquent.
The three clearly looked a little hesitant.
“All of you are talented and love jewelry designing. Do you wish to spend your whole life with these dull and lifeless stones? Don’t you want to see real jewelry?” Shen Qianshu took out six gems.
Diamond, pink diamond, sapphire, tanzanite, opal, and emerald. She got them from Chen Wanwan.
Their eyes lit up.
There was such a huge difference between real jewelry and fake ones.
Real gems looked magical. The three had always been hanging around at the gra.s.sroots level. They loved jewelry and had made a lot of designs that were really well-liked. Yet, they had never come in touch with the jewelry industry.
To them, the valuable gems s.h.i.+ning in front of them had a strong sense of attraction.
“Sister Shu, this…” Lin Sen was very touched.
Jewelry designers, professional ones. They even dream of them in their sleep.
“The jewelry compet.i.tion of City A has just ended. Don’t you wish to be one of those people standing on stage with a trophy in their hands one day? Or do you wish to live your whole life in this little stall, earning just enough to survive? Sister Wanwan has rich financial resources and also people. She also had p.a.w.nshops. She is always ahead of others, and she is also a very responsible person. Tell me, how many years have you been messing around with jewelry? Do you really not wish to step into the real jewelry industry? This is a great door left open for you. If you miss it, you miss it.”
“Sister Shu, do you have a share in it.”
“Yes.”
Zhang Jingyi looked at her two business partners. She could not come to a final verdict straight away, but Shen Qianshu was not in a hurry to get their replies either. She said, “Sister Wanwan still needs a month’s time to get ready. You don’t have to give me an answer right away. Do think through thoroughly about what is it that you hope to achieve. If I had such a great opportunity when I was younger, I would not give it up. You have to know that you are a small stall. The goods you sell are small, and the market is very compet.i.tive. It may seem profitable now, but you can’t survive on that for a lifetime. Believe me. No one can guarantee that the Spring Court Fair will be able to prosper for a lifetime, and no one can guarantee that the business of other stalls will always be poor. The pa.s.senger flow is also fixed, and small commodities are not necessities. How long can you go on selling? If you enter the real jewelry industry, it is different. You can receive professional training and can touch the halls of this industry. I promise you, I will definitely take responsibility for you when I bring you into the business. “
