My name is Yakupujiang Abdul Semmat, I am from Xinjiang, Uighur, 27 years old this year.
I always remember what my dad told me: don't worry about making money, let people do it first.
I am now running a jade shop in my home in Shenzhen. My wife and my 3-year-old son are also in Shenzhen. I studied in Xinjiang Vocational University in Urumqi. I studied English. The dream of graduation was to be a tour guide. I never thought about doing jade business before, although my father was a businessman who has been doing jade business for more than 30 years.
In the summer of graduation, I went to Dongguan to do business with my father. There are very few halal restaurants there. I have to go far to eat to find halal meals. I looked at the stone at the hotel and my father went out to buy food. I remember that there was a light rain outside that day. I saw the way my father bought food from the window of the hotel. He walked slowly in the rain and walked slowly. When I saw this scene, I cried directly. I felt that my father had been so many years. It is really not easy to do business in the Mainland. Because of this, I simply gave up the dream of a tour guide and started to learn jade business with my father.
My shop is in Shenzhen Antique City, and it has been almost open for 5 years now. I remember once, in 2011, we spent 1.6 million yuan to buy a stone weighing more than 4 kilograms. It was not long before a boss in Shenzhen wanted to offer a price of 5.6 million yuan. I was very happy at that time. Because my dad was basically not in charge of business at the time, he did not tell him. When I was paying the next day, my dad knew, and said that such a good thing would not give me any appreciation. My father's eyes were very poisonous. He glanced and said that this stone could not be sold. I asked why? The father said that the leather (referring to the skin, that is, the outer skin of the jade) is wrong. I said impossible. He said, I will prove it to you. He took a pot of boiling water, soaked the stone in the water for more than an hour, then put it in the freezer of the refrigerator, and took it out the next day, smelling a strong chemical smell. I was eager to make money and said that this did not fade, or give him, can earn 4 million. My dad said directly, are you coming here, are you making money or taking root?
My family's things are actually not cheap. My father's principle, the first one can't lie, you have to do business with someone who knows jade. If you don't know, you can't do business with him. He doesn't know. You can tell him and let him know. People who don't understand, don't let him spend in your store. Because the jade business is a process of trust between people, gold has a priceless jade that is invaluable and cannot cause any doubts. Many people have asked him how much the money is, he said, don't force me to lie. Anyone who does business with my dad knows that this old man has a temper, as long as he can sell himself for money.
The fake leather thing is very big for me. When I first opened the store, the economic pressure was still quite big. I started to be very anxious in the first two years. Now it is almost five years old. I have completely settled down. This is also because my dad often comes to Shenzhen to supervise me.
Another point, but also my father's principle, is the things in his store, to point out its shortcomings, I can not accept it. Others don't understand too much. It's not good to boast. Why do you have to point out the shortcomings? My dad said that my things have these shortcomings, and that others are convinced to buy them. Because you get someone else to go to, or talk to a friend, others will see this shortcoming, but when you point it out, he is not a disadvantage. If you don’t say it, others will see it, that is Disadvantages. At first, many people did not understand, saying that this would not be a business, but after so many years, I gradually understood this truth.
Now that the guests are coming from the store, I don't tell them anything else, just tell my story, the story of our family, so I am very popular in the entire Shenzhen antique city, and others have given me a Han name: A Jiang. Many people have never seen me, but I have heard of my story.
Now I am also a Shenzhen person, and my ID card is from Shenzhen. Although the passport is very twisted but it is also available, I would like to visit other countries to see their culture and exchange and exchange stories with my family. There is also the story of our Hetian jade. I want to say that I am not a stone dealer, I am a jade merchant; I am not a black belly (literate, no cultural meaning - editor's note), I am a college student who has struggled on campus; I am from the hometown of Hetian jade in Xinjiang, I want to be a messenger of jade culture.
