Chapter 97 Chapter 93
Mr. Milton made an appointment with her to see the Royal Botanic Gardens. The weather in England was still relatively cold, and many flowers had not yet bloomed, and when they arrived, they only saw trees, some of which were still bare, and to her surprise, there was a Chinese garden in the garden.
She could barely see anything except as she followed him all the way - he walked too fast. Unexpectedly, the young man would stop and tell her which plant came from Yunnan, China.
"This is the vermilion red, Latin barbadosiliy, also known as the centennial lotus, the vermilion orchid, which blooms in March and April. β
"This plant is called micheliafig in Latin, smiling, also called laughing plum. White orchid genus. β
He was so erudite that he knew most of the plants of the southern provinces of China. She looked into the distance, most of them were southern plants, and it was no wonder that there were only poplars and willows in the north, and there were no beautiful plants, and they were not worth transplanting, and she did not expect Milton to be keen on which tree was found from China.
When Su Xiaoqi saw a tree, she smiled and said: "This is a water gardenia, Latin id, also known as a bird's tongue gardenia, which blooms at the beginning of summer." β
He raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had found something from her, and a smile appeared on his lips, "You also know Latin, do you know this Chinese plant?"
"I've learned a little bit of Latin and know a little bit about this kind of southern Chinese plant. She replied honestly.
Mr. Milton asked, as he walked, "Do you like to explore a legend?" Miss Katerina?"
"Legendary?"
Walking with him in the garden, he finally got to the point: "You're here for those paintings, right? Your competitors, including companies like Subi Fu and Christie, promise to buy them at a high price, and if you want to impress my heart, it's not difficult." Would you like to be Sherlock Holmes again?"
She was surprised, stopped, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
He glanced at Su Xiaoqi lightly, and then said, "Let's talk about my grandfather first, he is a collector, he has moved all the paintings he encountered home in 60 years, because he doesn't trust the insurance company, he even uses the toilet, and there are paintings hidden in the pile of old newspapers, and I don't even remember where some paintings are placed." β
"As an heir, I got this qiΔ from my grandfather and didn't lose it at all. In fact, I'm looking for a lost piece β if you can find and auction off a lost painting from the world, how about I'll hand over the three-metre-long painting to you?"
She thought about it and said without hesitation, "I'll take it." β
"Very courageous. The young man lifted his glasses, "It's a portrait of a vanished Kustodiev." β
Back at the company's headquarters, she immediately notified the company staff to start searching for the whereabouts of a missing work, and the people in the office were in a hurry, and 24 hours later, they found clues to the painting.
Su Xiaoqi sat in a chair and pondered, urging people to find clues - this painting appeared in the 1912 World Art Exhibition. Two years later, it was exhibited in Sweden, during which the First World War broke out, the Russian Revolution broke out, and the excellent work disappeared...... Even in the artist's house, no one remembers what it was.
The next day, Mr. Mars came into his office and said to her: "Katerina, we have found out that in 1912 Vinogorodev, Lerich, and Grabari might have organized an exhibition in the United States, and sent all the paintings there. β
"Kustodiev's paintings were not supposed to be returned to Russia, and I suspect they were not successful in New York, but the organizers exhibited them in five American cities and sold them to private buyers, after which Kustodiev's works disappeared," they analyzed.......
Levi had brought something from outside, the diary of Irina Kustodieva from a collector. Flipping through the old diary, there is a line that reads: "I was sitting, and my father painted me a portrait, and I wanted to eat peaches, but my father wouldn't give meβ"
They did not close their eyes for three days and two nights, and thought hard about this clue, and according to this information, they knew the origin of this oil painting, and began to ponder and study its traces, and then went to the United States to find the portrait of Kustodiev who had disappeared.
Su Xiaoqi came to a town, the white church is located on the outskirts of the city, she walked through the fresh green fields, and came to the old and elegant town church. She touched the old stone on the walls of the church and looked at the large stained glass window with Christ on it.
The prayer board in front of the church reads: "God is weeping, and you will bless but not others, you will forgive but not forgive, you will want the gospel but not preach it."
The young woman with black hair and black eyes stood in front of the large stained glass window, and it seemed as if a beam of light had hit her eyes.
"You want riches but you don't want to give, you want eternal life but you don't want to be born again, you say hallelujah but you don't give thanks, you want me to lead but you never ask me for my will, you say you love me but you are addicted to the world ......"
Su Xiaoqi came here to transfer Kustodiev's portrait to his heirs.
Mr. Milton walked over, and as they looked at the statues in the church, he exclaimed, "Art is a perfect path for humanity to evolve into divinity." But there is always confusion on the side of the road. Moreover, the pursuit of art must be strong-willed, very strong, no less than a warrior. Otherwise, it is not the so-called sublimation of art, but degeneration. β
He looked at the painting she handed over and said: "The Mongol Empire has receded like a tide, leaving behind barbarism and regression, although it is the largest territory, and there are many countries that have surpassed the strength of this empire in history, but any of Michelangelo's works may not be able to match." β
She stared at Milton's deep eyes in astonishment, not knowing what he meant, but nodded.
Mr. Milton said slowly, "I have decided to hand over to you six oil paintings, and if you succeed in the auction, I will give you all the collection for auction, how about it?"
She suppressed her excitement, "Okay, we'll make up our minds." β
So Mr. Milton gave her six works.
Five days later, Dugardfil was successfully auctioned off on the Russian market. For this, the family contacted her again.
They made an appointment to make contact in Edinburgh, Su Xiaoqi drove over, the green fields and brown and yellow hills, and the ancient style of the castle not far away made tourists stop and linger.
The figure of the young man appeared in a vast hill.
In everyone's field of vision, he will always be a kind face, smiling expression, polite behavior, and polite speech, which makes people deeply understand what it means to be a gentleman.
After Su Xiaoqi got out of the car, she went with him to see the collections, and when she came out, she said to the young man: "Mr. Milton, thank you very much." β
He said, "Don't thank me, you've proven yourself a qiΔ." β
"As an heir, I prefer to do research rather than the old earl, and to present to the world those blank and unknown experiences as artists. β
Only then did she discover that Milton was as enthusiastic and serious as her grandfather, and that his efforts and diligence in doing research were beyond ordinary people's imagination, and that he devoted himself to the cause he loved almost with the spirit of a martyr.
The young man smiled and said, "I feel that you and I are the same kind of person, we are both looking for another way of life, we both like meaningful work and communication, we can always be excited that we have some kind of value in life, almost say that we are like beans in the same kind of pod." You might say, how is that possible? Because we work in different jobs and we didn't know each other before, but that's okay because we're not. β
She was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile and said, "Thank you for your comment." β
Dugardefier fulfilled its two promises, and for this purpose, the family handed over to her the entire collection, including the three-metre-long painting. Her visit was so rewarding that at an auction in the UK, "The Murder of Pseudo-Dmitry" fetched a record price.
London, United Kingdom
The phone kept ringing, and her secretary received a message from an agent that she had been asked to see a batch of artworks. When I went out, the weather was overcast all the time. Sometimes it rained, and it stopped, and she drove for another hour, and there was no sunshine, and she drove for another hour, and the roadside was full of vast fields, and she came to a place called D East Lomont Mountain, and as the name suggests, there was also a West Lomont Mountain.
Su Xiaoqi arrived at the agreed address and looked carefully at the batch of artworks, which were indeed impeccable, but there was only one problem.
"You're a step late," the agent shrugged regretfully, "an art dealer came to see it this morning, made a bid, and was ready to buy them." β
"How much does he offer?"
"8 million. β
"I'm out of 8.5 million. β
Seeing that the wind was making the rudder, the agent didn't even blink an eye, and said, "Okay." β
At 1:15 p.m. the next day, she received a phone call in her office. "Katerina?"
"It's me. β
"I'm Steve, I'll spare you this time, bitch, and if you spoil me in the future, you'll know awesome. The other party hung up the phone.
South Yorkshire, outside Sheffield, UK.
The gentleman in a modest suit was walking out of the door, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure in a goose-yellow dress standing by the fence, and she was walking towards him step by step.
The young gentleman hesitated, "What is the matter with you, miss?"
"I heard that the Dugar family's property and collection in London are going to be auctioned?"
He was shocked, stared at Su Xiaoqi and said, "Where did you get the news?"
"Is this true?" she asked.
The man replied ambiguously, "Probably." β
"I'm interested in buying it," Su Xiaoqi asked, "what price do you want to sell it for?"
"Look, ma'am...... I don't know you at all. β
He said, "How can you expect me to talk to a stranger on the street about a ninety-five million pound business......?"
"Ninety-five million pounds?" she realized, but she wanted to get the collection even more, and it would be a very exciting start for Dugardfield. Although the Dugar family's art collection is not a very large-scale collection, it is rich in art and has many diamond-quality art collections.
The collecting world claims that the flow of the art market is driven by 3D, debt, death. Only at this time will good art resources appear and enter the market for trading.
"Is this the business we're going to talk about?"
He stared at the uninvited guest, "We don't talk about anything, miss. β
Su Xiaoqi handed him a two-hundred-pound bill.
"What is this for?"
"The honorarium of priority, I only ask you to give me seventy-two hours of priority. What can you lose?, sir, you weren't ready to announce the auction in the first place. If I meet your asking price, you have nothing to lose. β
"I don't know you at all. β
"Give a call to a commercial bank and find the president. β
He looked at her for a long time, then shook his head and muttered things like "crazy."
"Monsieur Roger? I'm Berners Dugar of London. I have a young lady hereβ" He looked at her and considered her words, and Su Xiaoqi handed over a business card.
"Miss Katerina. He read with his business card.
"...... is she? I see...... Really? No, I didn't realize it...... Good...... Good. After a long time, he said "Thank you very much" on his phone.
He put away his phone, stared at Su Xiaoqi, and said, "You seem to have left a deep impression." β
"I intend to make a big impression here as well. β
Berners Dugar took the pound and looked at it over and over, "What do I want this for?"
"Sir, will you buy yourself a cigar?"
"If I agree to your asking price, can you give me priority?"
He looked at her, "It's a bit unconventional...... "In a certain way, if it weren't for the financial crisis, the Dugar family's collection wouldn't have been going to be auctioned at all."
"But, well, miss, I'll give you seventy-two hours. β
Pushing open the door, Li Wei was studying the report at the computer desk, and Su Xiaoqi sat down on a chair in front of his desk to talk to Li Wei about it.
He didn't look up, but asked, "How much do you estimate is enough?"
She tapped her fingers on the tabletop, "It's scary to say, it's 95 million pounds." In addition, the family's entire collection costs 200 million pounds. β
That's 295 million pounds. He raised his eyebrows, raised his head from the table, and stared at her: "Xiaoqi, where are you going to get such a large amount of money?"
"Borrow. "Guarantee the company's real estate in Russia and antiques and art in the UK." β
Levi put his hands on the armrests and looked at Su Xiaoqi: "Learn from Wall Street and gamble with all your money?"
"Yes, gambling, and winning. "I've seen the house and the collection, which occupies half a block, and there's a very scarce art resource in it, and it's a very rare opportunity, and it's going to be a big milestone for us to set up a big auction house in London." β
"Levi, you say, how are we going to raise money in three days?"
He pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "You can go through the guΓ² joint venture, you first talk to the bank, if the bank is not enough, we will go to find an insurance company or a savings and credit company joint venture." As a result, we would have to pay them about Β£5 million in mortgage interest at 10% and amortized mortgage principal in installments. In this way, they become partners. β
"They will give priority to 10 percent of our income, but we will be given the art and will enjoy full financing, and we will have an equal percentage of the interest in each part of the loan until it is all ours, because the financial institutions are not willing to afford to lose." β
Then he said to her, "When the art here is sold, the land will be sold." If the selling price is Β£75 million, it nets Β£12.5 million in addition to repaying the loan. In addition, you can enjoy a depreciation tax credit of 8 million pounds to reduce your tax on other income. All of this qiΔ requires an investment of 15 million pounds. β
She exclaimed, "What a fascinating analysis." β
A smile welled up on his lips: "It's a pyramid structure, and the trick is to run a huge project with very little start-up capital, and so on, and still be able to use the funds to buy a second batch of art, and then borrow the insufficient funds from the bank, of course, you have to be cautious, because this huge pyramid is built on a mortgage deed." β
She put on her coat and said, "You've always been fast. β
The young woman had already reached the door and said, "The soldier is very fast. We only had three days to raise the money from the bank. β
He stared at her back and disappeared in front of the door, remembering the high roller girl he met in Las Vegas, maybe it was another hidden story, but no matter what Xiaoqi's past was, he knew her now and was willing to keep it a secret.
The financial centre of London
A manager in a fancy suit led her into the office of a bank president.
At the desk was a silver-haired man who looked to be the proper fit of a bank president, dressed in a black suit and a dark tie, and was neat and energetic for his age.
The silver-haired man introduced her to the officer, "This is my deputy, Edward." β
"Hello gentlemen. β
"What can we do for you, ma'am?" asked the president.
"We are working on a project," Ms. Su said, "and I am looking for financial support." β
The governor said, "You've come to the right place." What is the project?"
"I am going to set up an auction house in the heart of the City of London to auction scarce works of art, mainly from Russia. β
Su Xiaoqi told him about the marketing idea of the online art exhibition and the on-site physical auction, and the president sat in a chair and listened to her idea: "This is not a bad idea. How much are you going to invest?"
"10 million, and the rest I figured out guΓ² loan settlement. β
The governor sat in his seat and silently pondered, "We need to look at ......."
The governor called the lieutenant, Edward, to go with her.
As they walked through the mansion in London, Edward looked at her, a young woman with a sense of ambition and will, "these collections are rarely on the market, and they bear witness to the glorious ...... of Russia"
"You can turn this into an auction site. Su Xiaoqi paced back and forth, she turned her head, "Do you know? There are so many masterpieces of human beings all over the world, and excellent works of art should not continue to be dusted, and each of them should be treated with the highest respect from people." β
Edward saw this enthusiasm in her eyes, and Su Xiaoqi told him: "When those customers with a lot of money come to our auction house, they ask for first-class art. But the auction houses here are too old-fashioned and have no personalization to speak of, and we will offer them a different kind of service, which is about to reflect a real European and Russian art house. If we offer our sellers masterpieces that have disappeared from the world, they will undoubtedly choose us, even if they are expensive. β
"I was impressed. Edward said, the faint smile on his lips incomprehensible.
She thought about it seriously and asked, "Do you think the bank will lend me money?"
He looked at her deeply, then said, "Let's see." β
At five o'clock in the afternoon on Tuesday, the bank held an internal meeting. "What do you think about this?" the governor asked his men.
"I find this woman convincing, her ideas are very creative, and I appreciate her ideas about the world of art circulation. A senior manager said.
"Me too, the only problem is that she's too young and inexperienced. Another manager said, "We have to take some risks." β
The president of the bank clasped his hands, he bowed his head, lost in thought.
Deputy Edward said, "I think we should be on this project. A smile tugged at his lips, "The worst plan is to take the land and all the artwork, and we won't lose anything." β
After hearing his words, the governor thought for a moment and said, "Audit-"
"The bank just approved your loan. Edward called to inform Su Xiaoqi.
"Thank you so much. β
"We have some details to discuss. Deputy Edward said on the phone, "Do you have time to eat tonight?"
"Available. β
"That's good. I'll pick you up at 7:30 by car. β
At half past seven in the evening, Edward drove Su Xiaoqi to a high-end restaurant. After the two of them sat down, Su Xiaoqi thanked him, "I'm very happy, thank you so much, there will be a different auction house in London." β
"May I be blunt with you, Miss Katerina?" said Edward, putting down his glass.
"Speak. β
"Miss, you're a dark horse, and you haven't won the race yet. Edward leaned over to her, "This is London, I don't care what you've done anywhere else, for example, this is a different kind of arena." If you miss, our bank takes the risk. β
"We're not a charity, but I have a gut feeling about you, and I think you can succeed and this project can be a blockbuster," he said. Your goal isn't to get paid when you're done with this one, is you?"
"Yes. She nodded affirmatively.
Edward picked up his glass and said, "I don't think so. That wishes us every success. β
Su Xiaoqi was preparing for the auction in the City of London with the rest of the staff, and after reading a report in the morning, she called the new project manager to talk, frowning slightly: "Our accounts are not the right number. β
"Miss, you are right, two paintings were missing from the collection room last night. β
Her heart sank, she stared at him, and asked, "Do you mean someone stole it?"
"Yes, last night. β
"We have people on the night shift, don't we?"
"There are four caretakers. β
"What didn't they find?"
"Nope. β
"Do you have any suspicions?"
"Not yet. β
She said thoughtfully, "I see." Thank you for suing me for these cases. β
In the afternoon of the following day, they convened a plenary meeting of the Working Group. "Is there any news about the stolen paintings?" Su Xiaoqi asked at the meeting.
"There are no new discoveries yet. They said.
"I don't think people need to worry about that anymore," she said, "and the company has identified the people who stole the art." Su Xiaoqi turned back to the stranger and gestured, "This gentleman works in the Metropolitan Police Department, we should actually call him Inspector." β
"What is the Inspector doing here?" asked the new project manager.
Su Xiaoqi said calmly: "He came to take you away." β
His smile faded for a moment. "What?"
Su Xiaoqi announced to the crowd: "This gentleman stole the company's art, and when he found out that I was checking the accounts, he decided to report it." β
"Wait," he said, shocked, "you...... Mistaken. β
She said to the Inspector, "Please take him out of here." Then he turned around and said, "The meeting goes on as usual, and now let's discuss the preparations for the auction house." β
On the day of the opening ceremony, Su Xiaoqi walked over in a black dress, and the invited guests arrived one after another, and at each entrance, a uniformed doorman checked the guests' invitations and then allowed them to enter. Among these celebrities were well-known football stars, as well as some high-level officials of large companies, and many of them wealthy Russians came to the auction.
She called the manager aside and asked, "Why hasn't Mr. Mayor arrived?"
"He's so busy, you know, besides......," he said, "Mr. Mayor will change his mind one day." β
After a while, there was a notice from the doorman that the mayor's assistant had arrived, and Su Xiaoqi received him in a dress. After a while, a female guest arrived, she was Artha Sana, a well-known figure in Europe, America and Russia.
It wasn't until all the guests had entered that Levi walked through the bustling crowd and walked in front of Su Xiaoqi, he saw her looking around and asked, "Xiaoqi, who are you looking at?"
"TheGuardian reviewer, is he here?"
"Our employee said he just came in. β
Levi put his hands on his waist and said to her, "I have a feeling that today's start is unusual......"
She watched the crowd silently, and the afternoon would be the official start of the auction and the beginning of Dugardfield - although Katerina's name was not good enough to attract the attention of most journalists and prominent London celebrities, the assistant to the Lord of London, the reporters of Theguardian and some celebrities were in attendance.
The afternoon auction was packed from the start, with an unknown connoisseur bidding Β£7 million for a painting, nine times its estimate and 17 times the previous buyer's price.
The Dugardefel auction attracted enthusiastic comments and a hot crowd, and five days later, Mr. You called, "Have you read the Financial Times? He excitedly said, "The public opinion circles call Dugardfeld a storm, a shock to the art market, and you have finally made a name for yourself in London!"
Since the date of its listing in London, the British company Dugardfield has auctioned a series of works, including works by the master Robin and his disciples. In just one week, the auction took in half of the London auction week's revenue and shocked the European art market.
The Financial Times published an article by a well-known critic who said, "London finally has an auction house that has lived up to the maxim: 'Give the masterpiece back to humanity!'"
Newspaper commentators began to write, "Katerina, like a storm, with a Russian vipreament, broke into the temple of art that Europeans had been running for centuries, but no one disputed that she was the protagonist of a sensation on the world art market......"
"Katerina is a female adventurer......"
In September, after a meeting of the company, Li Wei stayed in the conference room and said to Su Xiaoqi alone: "What do you think about this?"
After reading the entire quarter's report, Levi decided that it was time for Dugardefel to take over the entire world art market - a market plan to have Dugardefeld's name printed on the blue skies of London, New York, and Tokyo, and one day to build Dugardefel's skyscrapers, which were what they wanted.
Su Xiaoqi looked at the plan and said, "I understand, you can implement it." β
"Yes, there are only a few giants in this industry, whether they like it or not, we have to share the world with them. β
Dugardfeld's entry into Sotheby's and Christie's turf caused huge waves in the industry. Whether it's Sotheby's, Christie's or Dugardefiel, now is no longer the time to compete for buyers, but to get rare pieces and put them up for auction faster.
Since Dugardfeld set up an auction house in London, it has attracted the attention of the Financial Times, and Subi and Christie, which have been in Europe for two centuries, were clearly unable to cope with the "invasion" of Dugardefel.
Dugardfeld understands the strengths and weaknesses of Subifous and Christie's in order to compete with market leaders and turn each other's weaknesses into their own, just as they use each other's strength to confront each other in a wrestling match.
Competition for scarce art has intensified in the auction industry, and she sometimes has to travel to deal with collectors from all over the world. Some of them are folk scholars and collectors, some are generations of lords, and many collectors have auctioned their entire collections to her.
Because Su Xiaoqi understands the different psychological and cultural background characteristics of Russians and Europeans. Every time she meets with a client, she can cut into the other party's topic, collectors like to deal with her, even if she meets a strong opponent, no matter how many times the other party says no, how many times they disagree, it doesn't matter, every negotiation, only if she says it's over, it will end. She bumps into a man named Steve in several art deals, and each time she outperforms him.
The agent said, "Miss, he doesn't have a lot of artistic cultivation, and Steve is not a big-hearted person, and he will pay you back." β
She turned around and said, "Let him return the favor." β
One afternoon, on her way back to London, the business sedan she was riding in met another black Kate Dirac on the way, and a man with a cold face got out of the car.
"What's wrong?" she asked, looking up from the text in her hand.
"Someone is in our way. The assistant said, the window lowered slightly, and standing in front of them was a tall, blond man, with a pair of pupils emitting a cold light like organic glass.
"What are you looking for from me?"
"I hate it when people steal my business. β
"Mr. Steve, if you're referring to the Earl of Norman......"
"That's exactly what Lao Tzu is looking for you. β
She said calmly, "He prefers the style of Dugadfeld Company." β
"Aren't you enough?" the man pointed at her, "it's you, girl, you lured him into doing this, and don't meddle in my business! I warn you!"
Back at the office, Levi opened the door and walked into her office, "I heard that Steve approached you?"
Mr. Mars came in and said, "Katerina, I have found information on Steve, who is a dangerous adversary from the Wiltens Collection in New York, USA. β
Levi took off his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "He is, and so do we." β
Su Xiaoqi sat in a chair and said to Manager Mars, "Dugardefel's marketing strategy will not change because of this. β
"Worried about being robbed of business, maybe he should change his career?"
After some time, they went to Seattle to see a batch of artworks, and a friend in the art collecting world told Su Xiaoqi: "There are rumors in the New York collecting circle that Steve wants to take revenge on you, be careful." β
Soon after, there was more bad news from the marketing staff, and many purchase contracts were lost before they were concluded.
Su Xiaoqi flew to Spain again and took a fancy to a number of artworks. "Let's buy them, they should make a lot of money." β
"Okay. β
When we met the next day, Mr. Mars sued her. "Someone bought it first. β
Su Xiaoqi explained to the manager: "You check and see, who is always robbing our business." β
Results were available in less than 12 hours. "Steve Wiltens. β
"He stole all the business?" she asked, frowning slightly.
"Yes. β
Back at the headquarters, she discussed with Levi alone, "So, someone in the company leaked secrets. β
"It seems so." β
Su Xiaoqi called the secretary, "I want to draft a notification letter," she walked around the room, thought for a long time, and said, "To Brother Ferrer." β
The secretary began to type the record, and Su Xiaoqi slowly dictated: "Sir: I have reconsidered that contract, I think it has great potential value, and in a few days, I will contact you about the price, and I would like to express my greetings." Then he commanded, "I'll sign it after I've done it." β
"Miss Katerina. Is that all?"
"That's all. β
After she finished speaking, she told the secretary to leave the house.
Levi turned to look at her, and then asked, "Xiaoqi, haven't we analyzed it in depth?" Although it looks like some vintages, they are all third-rate works of art packaged up, almost worthless, if you buy them all, ......
"Don't worry, we're not going to do this business. Su Xiaoqi looked back and smiled: "If my guess is correct, Steve Wiltens will definitely do it." β
Within a few days, Levi received the message. He got up from his chair and came over to her, "You're right! Steve was tricked and swallowed all the hooks and threads. Now he became the proud owner of the 4,000 works of art. β
Su Xiaoqi immediately notified the HR manager, and he called the secretary in the office.
"Mr. Gan, what are you looking for me?"
"You're fired. The HR manager said to the secretary.
The secretary looked up at the HR manager in surprise and asked, "Mr. Gan, you were fired?"
"You signed a confidentiality agreement when you joined the company, and you must not divulge any company secrets. We don't like people you dating, go back to Steve Wiltons. β
A week ago, Su Xiaoqi had hired a detective, and he gave her a copy of the information after the investigation, "Miss Katerina, your phone has not been tapped, and as far as we know, of all your employees, only the secretary has been bribed by Steve Wiltens." β
London, United Kingdom
Only two years later, Dugardefiel's magical results have caught the world's attention, often topping the list of London auction weeks.
Su Xiaoqi was in the office of Dugardfeld when she received a message from her secretary that financiers from German investment banks had flown to London to meet Katerina.
The majestic building is set under the blue sky and white clouds, and the dazzling light from the clouds is refracted between each high-rise buildingβshe and Levi stand in the headquarters office building with the large floor-to-ceiling windows behind them. He looked out the window and said, "Xiaoqi, do you see it? Investors are here and eager to be the ones who share that miraculous performance." β
As soon as the German investment bankers arrived in London, as soon as they got off the plane, Levi arranged a meeting.
In the afternoon when the sun is at its strongest, the glass curtain wall reflects a dazzling light. Su Xiaoqi and Li Wei came to the conference room to talk with the banker, "It's a pleasure to meet you, this is Mr. Li Wei, the CEO. Su Xiaoqi said in the conference room, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, I only have so little time, and I have to fly to Hong Kong, China soon." β
The secretary brought coffee to everyone, and the banker calculated quickly, but the young man, on the same occasion, calculated faster than they did, and quickly drew up a plan according to the contract.
During the negotiation, Levi's calm tone made the other side frown, and the Germans complained that the coffee was really not good. When she heard this, she smiled: "This brand is made for Dugardfeld, and it will feel smooth after drinking it for a while." β
They all quietly mediated with the bankers.
The Germans put down their cups.
She smiled and raised her eyes, softening the atmosphere and said, "Have another drink, gentlemen." β
At the end of the negotiations, they won all the conditions they wanted.
