As a not so rare gemstone, crystal is widely found on the world map. Its most famous source is in South America, where 90% of the world's crystals are mined in South American crystal mines. As the most famous crystal family in this field, the Winster family has maintained a good relationship with several major crystal suppliers in South America, and the suppliers have maintained a close and benign cooperative relationship with each other, supporting the development of the huge crystal kingdom day after day.

If the crystal industry implements a scoring system, manufacturing technology, sales channels and other aspects are countless zeros in the score suffix, and the source of crystal is undoubtedly the first digit. The size of this digit directly determines the quality of the gemstone and the actual value of the crystal, which is the most basic foundation.

The Winster family knows this very well, and Carl has always held the connections of the crystal supplier and designer firmly in the palm of his hand, even when he was seriously ill, Luke was unable to intervene in this field, which shows Carl's attention and determination. It also made him thunderous in the power recovery operation after being discharged from the hospital, and it didn't take much effort to regain control of the Winster family.

This is a good thing for Ji Qianyu, now that the gap between her and Luke is narrowing, and Carl's acquiescence allows her to leave Austria and go to the origin of the crystal to master a supply channel of her own. However, what Carl didn't expect was that Ji Qianyu's destination was not South America, but South Asia, which is separated by the vast Pacific Ocean, which is also one of the main sources of crystal, but it is much inferior to the output of South America, that is, about 2% of the world's crystal production.

For such a choice, Ji Qianyu has her own considerations, and Elise also expressed her understanding.

"Two percent sounds like a lot, but after all, it is one of the main sources of crystal in the world, and the total amount is not small. It's just that the crystals in South Asia are not concentrated enough compared to South America, and it is difficult to mine, so it is not cost-effective to do the daily large-scale expenses of the Winster family, so it has not set foot in this area. But since we only plan to open a store to test the waters, these outputs are enough, and the top crystals in South America have been booked by the family in advance, and it is far more difficult for us to get a piece of the pie now than to come to South Asia to open up new horizons. Right, Diana? ”

Elise finished analyzing carefully and threw an inquiring glance at Ji Qianyu. Ji Qianyu smiled, put his hand on the pergola and looked at the tall palm tree in front of him, and squinted his eyes in the warm sunlight: "That's right, but there are too many countries here, the crystals are scattered, the technology and equipment are backward, and mining will cause secondary damage to the crystal veins, and the progress is slower than I expected." ”

They were in India at the time, having just emerged from an open-pit crystal mine. The mining results in this area are also not satisfactory, not to mention the small production of crystal, and the quality is not on the table, and it cannot be used as a raw material for high-end luxury goods. However, there are also things that can be a little exciting, the three of them as a generous crystal demander, in the last few days of rushing to make a name for themselves, one after another large suppliers began to take the initiative to contact.

They left the mining area with weak signals, and got into a car accompanied by hired locals to the city center, where a supplier made an appointment with Ji Qianyu to see if there was any possibility of cooperation. After the three of them sat down in the car, Leah took out his mobile phone and looked at the missed calls and unread messages, and methodically replied to the messages and made calls to all parties. Although he was born in German-speaking China, he speaks fluent English and French, and his shrewd and capable communication temperament is evident. Elise glanced at Leah and raised her eyebrows at Ji Qianyu: "Congratulations." ”

"Leah has always been very good, but I didn't expect him to be very talented in this area." Ji Qianyu and Elise sat side by side in the back of the car, looking at Luke, who was negotiating in an orderly manner in the co-pilot, his eyes couldn't help flashing, "In this way, staying in Winster's house as a housekeeper is indeed condescending to him." ”

Leah's promotion to the position of steward of Winster's old mansion was something that Karl had appointed a few days ago. He was originally the son of the previous butler, and now that the old butler wanted to retire, Carl considered it and promoted Leah to it. The old butler has always been quite neutral, treating her and Luke equally. And Carl's choice of Leah, who is clearly from Ji Qianyu's faction, as the next housekeeper, greatly shows his intention to support her, and I don't know how Luke and Sara feel in their hearts.

However, despite his good intentions, Carl certainly did not think that Leah was actually a good material for doing business. Leah hung up the phone and turned to report to Ji Qianyu. After Ji Qianyu answered, he looked at Leah with a touch of deep thought in his eyes.

"Leah." She suddenly asked, in a rather casual tone, as if on a whim: "Do you prefer to be a housekeeper, or do you prefer what you do now?" ”

"Huh?" Leah was stunned for a moment, but after a few seconds, she understood what she meant, showed a big smile, and waved the mobile phone in her hand with high interest, "Of course it's now!" I feel that it will help the eldest lady even more! After the eldest lady has a firm foothold in the family, she will transfer me to a job, right? ”

Ji Qianyu blinked silently, nodded and agreed.

"Okay." She said.

"Where did you get such a brilliant and loyal talent?" Elise watched from the side for a while, and asked with some curiosity, "Leah is much more prominent than his father, and it's hard for him to follow you since he was a child, ignoring Lukeli." ”

Ji Qianyu raised the corners of his lips slightly: "I can't tell the reason for this now, so I will have the opportunity to talk about it slowly in the future." ”

Leah thought for a moment, agreed with her statement, and turned her head rather happily, continuing to look through the unread messages on her phone. Flipping through and turning around, he raised his mobile phone with a little narrow smile: "Miss, call back, you can't find anyone, and you have already asked me here." ”

…… Originally, the time to come out of the vein was much more than expected in the evening, and I kept talking in the car, and forgot to call in time. Ji Qianyu hurriedly flipped out his mobile phone and unconsciously shrank his neck. Elise and Leah saw it in their eyes, smiled at each other, and did not say anything.

Now that Ji Qianyu is becoming more and more mature and strong, there is only one person who will make her show the vividness and vitality that a young girl in her early twenties should have.

Ji Qianyu didn't pay attention to the silent communication between the other two people in the car, Fu Yufeng's voice came from the earpiece, with a gentle smile, which made her eyebrows and eyes soften unconsciously: "Finally remembered me?" ”

"Things didn't go well, and there was a lot of delay under the crystal mine." Ji Qianyu frowned slightly, sighed and complained. She and Fu Yufeng communicated in Chinese, and no one else in the car could understand it, and she brought some of her true emotions when she spoke.

"This is the third country I've traveled to South Asia, and I still haven't found a raw ore that satisfies me, let alone mining it...... It makes sense that the Winster family hadn't been involved in this area before, it was too dangerous here, and there was no corresponding reward. ”

This part of South Asia, once known as the Sanzhi region, is still economically backward, chaotic in management, and rampant in drug crime. When they were in the previous country, they experienced a terrorist abduction, which is why Fu Yufeng is very nervous if he doesn't contact her now. It was too far away to take care of many places, and she couldn't go back until she found a high-quality crystal mine. Now that the progress is not going well, Ji Qianyu doesn't want Elise and Leah to share this pressure, so he can only tell Fu Yufeng in a sullen manner.

The trust and dependence in this, Fu Yufeng naturally understands it. He played a few notes on the other end of the phone, unhurried, and the melody was calming. Ji Qianyu tilted his head and listened for a while, and asked him, "How are your performance preparations?" ”

"All the best." Fu Yufeng said with a smile. With his return and the recovery of his playing level, his career is gradually getting on the right track. He turned down the invitation of the Austrian State Symphony Orchestra as principal and chose to become an independent pianist. Not long ago, I received an invitation to play piano concerto from the German National Symphony Orchestra.

It is also a symphony orchestra with a long history, which retains the classical structure of the original symphony orchestra, and there is no regular piano in the orchestra, and when necessary, well-known pianists are invited to perform with them. Fu Yufeng was unable to travel with Ji Qianyu because of this performance. But what a new start it was, both of them knew very well.

So everything will always be fine. Fu Yufeng comforted her: "Maybe this one is what you want?" Take 10,000 steps back, there is no harvest in South Asia, so I go north to China, there is also a good crystal ore, and it has been said here. ”

This matter was done by Fu Yufeng's parents, who she secretly watched through the door of the ward, and she was a little nervous at the mention of Ji Qianyu. Although there is still a difference between a good crystal mine and the high-grade crystal mine she pursues, after all, a way out has been paved, Ji Qianyu's somewhat restless heart slowly calmed down, the two hung up the phone after talking a few more words, Ji Qianyu's face finally appeared a little smile, and he cast his eyes on the scenery outside the car window.

This is a low-latitude tropical country with a very different climate from Austria, and the weather at the end of May is almost melting. The brilliant sunlight sprinkled down unreservedly, as if burning a few black blind spots in the sight. Ji Qianyu closed his eyes and opened them again, and found that his visual blind spot still existed, and his face couldn't help but change.

"Speed up!" She shouted sharply in English. The other three people in the car were startled by her and turned their heads to look at her. Ji Qianyu stared at the black dots in his vision that were gradually enlarged, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Their car had not been driving very fast, and now several motorcycles were chasing after me, forming a flanking position, and soon their car was gradually surrounded inside. Each motorcycle was in pairs, and the weapons in their hands gradually became clear as the distance approached, and the expressions on their faces were full of excitement and hideousness.
