Regardless of whether they were rich or poor, Nadia and Vera still maintained their normal routine as students. I went to bed around 11 o'clock and woke up on time at 7 o'clock the next morning.

On the third day after moving to Wales, they were woken up at six o'clock by Lin Yilong, who, according to Lin, was much farther from Bracken Tree Farm to Cardiff city centre than Riverside Street Apartments to Holborn, even an hour's drive.

It's actually nothing, Northern England people live in Lancaster or Cheshire but it's normal to go to work in Liverpool or Manchester, and one of the most exaggerated buddies Lin has ever seen lives in Birmingham and takes the train to London to work at 7 o'clock every day. There are not many vehicles driving between exit 32 and 34 of the M4 motorway every morning, and it is safe.

Although the Smart bought for the Yeon sisters is not so suitable for this commuting journey. They need to get acquainted with the road networks of Smart and South Wales, which are not well suited for long commutes, with the help of satellite positioning as soon as possible.

After arranging the day's homework for the Yeon sisters, Lin Yilong received a very interesting phone call that made it necessary for him to go to London.

Tao Weiyang, who lives in Amsterdam, as Lin Yilong's truffle selling partner, knew that Lin Yilong won the first prize for truffles at the Tuscan Summer Gathering, so she used this news as a speculator and contacted a large number of suppliers in the Far East for Lin Yilong to choose from. Lin Yilong originally didn't want to deal with these business representatives who tried to take advantage of their compatriots to lower the price, but for the sake of Tao Weiyang's efforts, he still needed to see them.

The location is still the classic London Chinatown.

In general, Lin Yilong doesn't like it very much. Leicester Square is too close to the city centre and noisy, but it can't be helped, the Chinese businessmen are very fond of arranging their meetings here, and perhaps only this place is slightly familiar to them.

At the table, Tao Weiyang chatted with several men and women in business casual clothes.

After a short greeting after Lin Yilong entered the venue, Lin Yilong took a seat, sat next to Tao Weiyang, and observed the business representatives present.

Lin Yilong's etiquette is appropriate, his attitude is still blunt and arrogant, and he will not be restrained because he is a compatriot.

This kind of performance stems from some of his not very good experiences.

When provincial delegations from the Celestial Empire come to London for an exhibition or other major business event, it is often interspersed with talent matching meetings by European companies, local universities, embassies and consulates. Lin Yilong happened to be doing judicial aid for Middle Glamorgan at that time, and he also went to the meeting in a hurry. It has to be said that the positions and job requirements of domestic enterprises and institutions are very rational, but the wages and benefits given are not so rational.

Lin Yilong was paid as a junior assistant at that time, and he could get 24,000 pounds a year. At the talent fair, he came into contact with the so-called "career establishment" provided by the provincial department of commerce with an income of only 6,000 a month. For this 6,000 monthly salary, he also needs to sacrifice other income from his part-time job at an outside law firm.

You must know that when he returned to practice law in the previous year, his income could reach 15,000 a month, which is still not comparable to his salary in Midgeramorganshire.

Lin Yilong then negotiated with the staff, and the staff saw Lin Yilong's appearance and proudly left such a comment: "The salary of the post is only so much, unless it is a professor and an external expert with a doctoral supervisor, you can't get a better level." If you have the opportunity to serve your country, you should feel honorable and don't pay so much attention to treatment. ”

"But, if my memory is correct, why can't you even give me £25,000 a year for consulting a lawyer who is a citizen of the United Kingdom, and you pay me the same counsel who is a citizen of the United Kingdom?" Lin Yilong had a full understanding of the various potential employers who only used the brotherhood of his compatriots to reduce the price, and left with this sentence.

The matter was not over, and two months later, Lin Yilong joined Alan Binghamton, became the opponent of the provincial enterprise in a negotiation, and met with the staff member again.

The negotiation involved a standard issue, a large cargo produced in the Celestial Empire was re-set by the EU during the shipping period, and a European trading enterprise directly refused to accept it at the port of destination - and then bought the goods at a very low price from the carrier when handling the goods, and went through the entry procedures with the original batch number - It could have been the legal responsibility of European companies, but because of the limited level of legal counsel hired by domestic companies, they repeatedly made mistakes in negotiations with Lin Yilong as an opponent, and finally reached an agreement that made them lose 600,000 pounds in the compensation they deserved. The final result could have made Lin Yilong slap them in the face, but during the negotiation process, the person in charge of the other company's company asked Lin Yilong for a working meal several times, and Lin Yilong had no choice but to go to the banquet, but at the end of the banquet, the staff of the business hall who was unwilling to fail took a photo in an attempt to threaten Lin Yilong. Fortunately, Lin Yilong obtained Mr. Davis's approval before accepting it, otherwise he would have been completely discredited, and his lawyer's license would be lost by the Bar Association, and the agreement reached would be overturned.

Since then, Lin Yilong has had some insight into the business that is popular, and has always maintained a very high vigilance against business banquets and even all banquets, especially those of compatriots.

Seeing that Lin Yilong, who was supposed to be enthusiastically selling, was silent, a middle-aged woman led by him asked: "Excuse me, can Mr. Lin give me a reference price?"

"Reference price, I've decided. Lin Yilong said this, "The way I sell truffles is not much different from the way other truffles are sold, which is bidding." “

This is not good news, Lin Yilong's truffles won the gold medal, and the minimum bid for the auction will also rise, although small truffles may not sell for the unit price of large truffles per gram, but who can guarantee it.

"There's a reason for that, white truffles are like scratching lottery tickets, maybe they can be dug up one day, and then they'll be gone. Lin Yilong explained, "There is a market for need, and I believe that all the gentlemen and ladies here understand this." ”

"Then we want to know what your psychological price is. Seeing that the contact Tao Weiyang was silent after Lin Yilong appeared, a business representative was in a hurry and asked a very stupid question.

"Treasures naturally have bids that reflect its status. Lin Yilong said calmly, "I think if I make a bid that I can't refuse, it will naturally come to fruition." But what I don't understand is that this is the first time that Bracken Tree Farm has produced truffles, so why should all of you be so confident about this fall's production?"

"Since we can't have an accurate estimate of truffle production in Tuscany and France, I'd like to hear your estimate of this market. The business representative who asked the "stupid question" bluntly stated his intentions, "This way, we have more confidence to evaluate this market." ”

Tao Weiyang's face turned pale after hearing this, and it is likely that the few people present are not serious food experts, but middlemen who want to gain knowledge of the price of truffles in the market through her and Lin Yilong.

"So I said, bidding issues. Lin Yilong said unhurriedly, "Last year's output price was 23 pounds per gram for large pieces and 9 and a quarter pound per gram for small pieces, how do I know this year's market output, this thing is all up to luck." ”

"I would like to ask Mr. Lin to give me a fixed price, and I can eat it all without considering the market price. He said.

"Well, let's talk about it, no matter how big or small, £20 a gram is still very, very cheap. Lin Yilong said, then stood up and prepared to leave, "This is the general offer I see on the 'brotherhood', valid for three days, if I can't receive your offer at that time, then I can only apologize and can only bid directly." ”
