Jia Lei didn't know that Fan Ping'an, the nemesis he avoided, was coming, and he was standing in the living room of Mrs. Fan's house at this time.

"Hello old lady, I'm really sorry to bother you! I have brought a small gift, please accept it. Jia Lei said to Mrs. Fan, who was sitting on the sofa, that her husband, Chairman Wu, was also sitting next to her.

"Why are you so polite, what kind of gifts do you want to bring when you come? Butler, go and bring the things to me to see!" said Mrs. Fan, and the old housekeeper immediately followed Jia Lei's bodyguard out.

"Ping An has already told me about you, there was a banquet in the Zheng family recently, and many people from the jewelry industry will attend, so you and I will go with you to recognize people that day. Mrs. Fan said.

"Is this good? I'm going to open a jewelry store to steal business with them, will these bigwigs in the industry welcome me?" Jia Lei asked uneasily.

"Flutter!" Old Madam Fan couldn't help but laugh.

"It's so funny that you dare to talk about stealing business with them! Don't worry, they don't care about you. It's good for you to know a few more people, whether you want to process it yourself or open a store, some channels and materials have to go through their hands. Mrs. Fan explained to Jia Lei carefully.

"Kid, you haven't done business before, have you?" asked Mr. Wu.

"I've done business, I'm doing foreign trade business in the Soviet Union right now. Jia Lei said.

"Are you the one who is in charge of the business?" asked Mr. Wu again.

"I'm mainly responsible for contacting the source to sell the goods, and one of my relatives is responsible for the rest. Jia Lei said.

"It's not a business, it's just a resale at best! As far as I know, anything that is not marketable in the current Soviet Union is not a business. Let me ask you, have you ever done a business?" asked Mr. Wu.

"I just bought a factory in East Berlin and I'm just getting my hands on it. Jia Lei replied truthfully.

"That is to say, you have never been a business, our family owes you a favor, if you have any problems, I will help you see. Mr. Wu said that this is also the reason why he stayed at home today.

"When you said it, I realized that I used to be just a bad man who was buying and selling everywhere! I was too young to be despised on Hong Kong Island, and this was rarely the case when I was abroad before? Can you tell me why?" Jia Lei asked.

"I guess you used to buy and sell directly abroad, right? Since you are spending money to buy things, of course the other party will not dare to offend you and treat you as God, but in the Soviet Union, it is just the opposite, and the person who has goods there is God! You have received invisible preferential treatment in these places, but on Hong Kong Island you have appeared as a partner, so that your status is equal to theirs, and the other party can of course suspect you. Mr. Wu explained to Jia Lei.

"So what should I do now? I just want to do business with them, and I don't think anyone will underestimate me if you ask you to bring me to an event. Jia Lei said.

"That's the way to do it. Mrs. Fan agreed.

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with what you did in the past, but you can't do it for too long as a middleman, because now that the world is in turmoil, you can earn double your profits, and when the situation in the Soviet Union stabilizes, you are afraid that you will not be able to make so much money. Your decision now is very good, the jewelry industry is one of the most secure and valuable industries, although you can't make a fortune by investing your money in it, but you can't lose money. Mr. Wu praised Jia Lei.

"I think so too!" Jia Lei nodded in agreement.

"But you don't understand business, what are you going to do?" asked Mr. Wu.

"I partnered with a few small jewelry stores with decades of experience, and I was responsible for paying for them, and they were responsible for managing them. Jia Lei said.

"That's good, but I want to know in what capacity you plan to enter the business world this time? Unfortunately, you are too young, and the fastest and safest way to enter the business world on Hong Kong Island is to marry, but this method is not suitable for you. Mrs. Fan said with a smile.

"I know, I'm just a nouveau riche from the bottom! I don't want to be too vain but I can't help it, you just need to say that I'm a junior you know, and I don't want to be underestimated. Jia Lei said.

"You're in a good state of mind! Heroes don't ask where they come from, and people don't care too much about a child. For our sake, no one on Hong Kong Island will embarrass you. After you have attended the banquet, the business community on Hong Kong Island will know that you are such a person, and you will not be mistaken for a liar in the future. Mrs. Fan said appreciatively.

"How did you know about this?" Jia Lei asked embarrassedly, he was not embarrassed to tell Fan Ping'an about this kind of black history.

"As we all said, Hong Kong Island is a small place! there's something here, it's easy to find out. Mr. Wu explained to Jia Lei. When someone asks for a door, they must first find out the cause and effect before deciding whether to help.

"Sir, madam, Young Master Jia's gift has been brought, do you two want to take a look?" the old butler came over with a servant carrying a huge gift box.

"You open it and let me see what Jia Lei sent this time? You don't know that the embroidery that this kid sent last time was very good, I haven't seen such exquisite craftsmanship for many years. Mrs. Fan said with a smile.

"I came in too much hurry this time, so I simply prepared a few gifts! Time is too tight, the gifts are simple, please forgive me!" Jia Lei said very nervously.

The old housekeeper led people to open all three gift boxes, one was filled with supplements such as bird's nest for life, and the other was filled with red wine and cigars, which were obviously specially prepared for Mrs. Fan and Mr. Wu.

"These things are very good, I like them very much!" said Mrs. Fan with a smile, and most of the guests who came to the house gave these two gifts.

"What is this? I look like an ivory, but it is a little bigger than the ivory, and it doesn't look like it?" asked Mr. Wu in surprise.

"This is a native product I brought from the Soviet Union, Siberian mammoth ivory!" Jia Lei quickly replied.

"Yes, it's a good thing, it's original, it's powerful, it's atmospheric, it's better than the carved ones. Mr. Wu stood up and stepped forward to examine the ivory carefully.

＊＊＊＊

"Don't you think your gift is too simple?" Old Madam Fan first looked at the ivory and then looked back at Jia Lei.

"It's a bit too simple, I recently got a batch of good pink diamonds, and I'll ask someone to polish and cut them another day and send a few to the house to make amends. Jia Lei thought that Mrs. Fan was not satisfied with the gift, so he hurriedly said.

"You misunderstood, I'm talking about simplicity, not simplicity! It seems that I really didn't guess wrong, you need to make up for a little common sense of etiquette in high society!" Old Madam Fan looked at Jia Lei and said with a headache.

"Is there a difference between the two? Doesn't simplicity mean that it is not expensive enough?" asked Jia Lei confusedly.

"You two ivory are valuable enough! I guess you must have brought this ivory directly after receiving it, cleaning it briefly, and then sending it in a box?" asked Mrs. Fan.

"Yes, how do you know?" asked Jia Lei, puzzled.

"Most people give this kind of gift to carve ornaments, even if it is ivory for collection, it will be cleaned and polished by professionals, and then sent with a specially customized box and base. This ivory is not even polished at the bottom end, and it looks like it was made up temporarily. It's the same as your clothes!" Mrs. Fan looked at Jia Lei worriedly and said.

"What's wrong with my clothes?" asked Jia Lei nervously tugging at his sleeve.

"I bought this dress last year, right? It's outdated. Mrs. Fan said.

"But this is Armani's haute couture classic, and there is no such thing as obsolescence?" Jia Lei asked puzzled.

"The style is fine, but don't you think it's a little small?" asked Mrs. Fan.

"Where is it small, am I not uncomfortable in dressing?" Jia Lei hurriedly asked.

"Although the cut of this suit will not make people feel uncomfortable to wear, the sleeves of your shirt are already above the ankle bones, and the trousers are an inch shorter!" said Mrs. Fan, pointing to Jia Lei's clothes.

"This outfit was made last year, and I was too busy this year to buy new clothes, so I wore it out! It may be that I have grown taller in the past six months, but it is only a little shorter and I can't see it if I don't pay attention to it. Jia Lei said embarrassedly.

"You didn't buy new clothes, don't you want to wear these clothes to follow me to the Zheng family's banquet?" said Old Madam Fan, who finally changed her face.

"No...... Okay?" Jia Lei looked at Mrs. Fan's face, and the two words behind her were almost inaudible.

"Of course not, don't you want everyone to think that you are a rich man! How can a rich man wear torn clothes? You quickly threw it away for me!" said Mrs. Fan angrily.

"This dress is a famous brand, where is it broken! And this dress cost me a lot of 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, what a pity to throw it away." Jia Lei reluctantly touched his clothes and said.

"Why are you so petty! You are a big boss now, you are not the same as before, how many assets do you have, can you tell me?" Mrs. Fan asked Jia Lei.

"Why are you asking this, I don't have much money!" Jia Lei said with his eyes rolling wildly.

"A millionaire has a millionaire's dress! A multimillionaire has a multimillionaire's taste! I don't know how much money you have, how to help you take care of your clothes, if you really wear this outfit, even if it is my own grandson, others will think that my family is so poor that it is going to go bankrupt!" Mrs. Fan gritted her teeth and reasoned with Jia Lei.

"What if that is...... What should a billionaire wear?" asked Jia Lei with a weak heart.

"Billionaire, then it doesn't matter what you wear! Mr. Wu suddenly answered, and Jia Lei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles! Even if you are really a billionaire, wearing this dress will be regarded as asking for food, and you were regarded as a liar when you held a diamond a few days ago!

How many people can see people's inner strength without relying on their appearance!

Therefore, many rich people have to dress brightly even if they owe hundreds of millions of dollars, so that they will not be looked down upon by others!

"I haven't forgotten! You keep saying what should I do!" Jia Lei was thrilled when he heard Mrs. Fan's words, and quickly corrected his attitude and said.

"It's too late today, I'll arrange for someone to take you to do clothes and hairstyles tomorrow and then conduct etiquette training, and strive to make you look like a rich young master within two days!" said Mrs. Fan.

"Do you still need etiquette training? I'm just going to show my face, and I'll be back to China in a few days! My focus in the last few years has been abroad, and I basically don't stay on Hong Kong Island for long. Etiquette training would be exempted, right?" Jia Lei asked tentatively.

Countless bloody movies and TV series have told Jia Lei how strict this etiquette training is!

"There are many forms of etiquette for banquets, and I don't want you to be proficient, at least you must be able to use knives and forks, and know the basic etiquette!" said Mrs. Fan.

"Table manners don't need to be taught, I learned how to eat Western food every day during my stay in Germany and the Soviet Union for more than a year. Jia Lei hurriedly said.

"It seems that you also know some Western etiquette, this is easy to do! Otherwise, two days is really not enough, it just so happens that Fan Ping'an will come tomorrow, and I just asked the tailor to help you two measure the size together." "Mrs. Fan finally heard a good news.

"What? You said Fan Ping'an was coming over, what was he doing here?" Jia Lei jumped up and asked, this was bad news for him.

You must know that he has special things to do, and he can't be discovered!

"Elder Wang specially sent him to support you! If something happens to you this time, it won't be my face alone, so you must get all the clothes and etiquette for me!" said Mrs. Fan categorically. You have to find the latest chapters by yourself to read books?
