Chapter 12: Ten Years
I picked up the binoculars and looked at the stadium door, only to see Chen Kejiao's forehead and full chest, still walking confidently, attracting passers-by to look sideways, the security guard pointed to our school flag to show her, Chen Kejiao thanked her and walked straight to this side, this woman, always full of fighting spirit, today she is wearing a pair of black bell trousers, silver-white vest, on her neck, hanging a necklace of fine particles like tooth marks left by rodents, with her actions flashing and impressive. It can be said that in terms of clothing, Chen Kejiao is impeccable, and there is no doubt that she can wear a sense of fashion if she throws her two dun cloths and a cheap curtain, but her momentum often makes people ignore her taste in dressing - she always has a sense of duty.
After a while, the sound of high heels came from the corridor leading to the VIP seat, as soon as the door opened, Chen Kejiao stood there with her eyes searching, and found me, she walked over quickly and shook my hand, my nose was full of good perfume smell, I knew it was ...... Uh, it's premium anyway.
Chen Kejiao looked at the heroes who were taking a nap, and greeted Zhu Gui Duxing softly, and then said to me with a slight smile: "Now should I call you Manager Xiao or Team Leader Xiao?" ”
I saw that she was a little sarcastic, and said, "It's best for you to call me Xiaoqiang." ”
"Can you take a step to speak?"
I knew that she couldn't be idle and bored to come to see me, a hooligan in her mind, leading a group of people to fight, I took her to the office where the machine was placed, Chen Kejiao looked around and said: "It's really good, I see that there may not be an office in several other people's houses, your largest one, is actually locked like this." ”
I got straight to the point and said, "Miss Chen, is there something you want me to do?" ”
"What do you think of me?" Chen Kejiao asked abruptly.
Because it was too sudden, I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "The brain is enough, and the person is not bad." ”
Chen Kejiao smiled and said, "Thank you, this is a compliment, right?" ”
I was stunned again, and hurriedly nodded: "Count, absolutely!" ”
Chen Kejiao stopped laughing and said slowly, "I'm here to ask you for help this time." "For some reason, I've always felt a little depressed about her, and now it's especially strong.
I fumbled and said, "Let's talk about it first, I'll do my best if I can help." "After a few interactions, I knew that this woman was a powerful character who could make people suffer unknowingly, so I was extra careful.
"Do you know why I sold you something worth 2 million for 200,000?" Chen Kejiao and I went around in circles again, there is nothing to say about this matter, I did take a big advantage, this is how my small villa came, this is even more vigilant, women denounce men or want to get greater benefits, they always say: Think about how I treat you......
Seeing that I was pretending to be stupid, Chen Kejiao said to herself: "First, because you know the goods, and secondly, I want to express our sincerity in order to facilitate greater cooperation in the future, and now ......."
I said, "Is there such a bigger opportunity for collaboration?" ”
Chen Kejiao nodded approvingly, and I poured her a glass of water and motioned for her to continue. Chen Kejiao turned the glass and said: "My father, he is an avid antique collector, and he is fortunate to own a large company, which provides him with convenience, almost all of his personal assets are used to acquire antiques, and the combined value of these things is about 400 million. ”
I gasped and listened to her continue.
"Unfortunately, the company's performance has gone downhill since last year, just at the beginning of the capital turnover is not good, and this year's earthquake has brought the company more than just worse, it can be said to be devastating."
I couldn't help but ask, "Your dad opened a black coal kiln?" ”
Chen Kejiao didn't pay attention to my jokes, she said slowly: "My father is in real estate, Qingshui Homes. ”
"Huh?" I screamed as if I had been burned by an electric soldering iron, Qingshui Homestead, isn't that where I bought a villa?
Chen Kejiao said that it was understandable to make a fuss about me, she said: "Manager Xiao can also imagine how big the earthquake will hit the real estate, right? ”
I immediately waved my hand: "No, that bottle was sold to me before the earthquake, did you predict the earthquake so you thought in advance that we would have a chance to cooperate?" ”
Chen Kejiao smiled slightly: "It seems that Manager Xiao is not stupid. "What's the that's called? I always have the impression that I am a two-hundred-and-five. She said: "In fact, before the earthquake, I persuaded my father to sell some of the antiques in his hands, but that was tantamount to his life, and after my repeated persuasion, he reluctantly agreed to go out through the pawn shop first, so that he could redeem it later, so during that time, Assistant Chen and I ran all over the city's pawn shops, and those who had the strength and knowledge of the goods were selected by us." ”
"Then why did you choose our Jihao in the end?"
"Ji Hao is the most professional, and more importantly, I can see that Manager Xiao is an interesting person, you probably like antiques too, right?" Saying that, a subtle smile appeared in Chen Kejiao's eyes.
I was ashamed to death, I will never forget the way I appeared in front of Chen Kejiao in Liu Bang's imperial robe that day, in fact, this is complete nonsense, Jihao has a number of chains in the city, and if you want to make a big deal in the pawnshop industry, there is no other choice.
"Because of the arrival of this earthquake, my father finally made up his mind to save the company by treating his antiques as a hobby, after all, collecting is just a hobby, and Shimizu Home is the greatest pride in his life."
"How many are you going to sell?"
"All!" Chen Kejiao said resolutely.
I was so shocked that I almost rolled over the stool and asked in a deep voice, "It's been this point?" ”
Chen Kejiao said gloomily: "To tell you the truth, the Qingshui Home Villa District, which we have high hopes for, has only sold one house so far......"
Didn't you just sell a set, or I bought it?
After going around for a long time, Qingshui Home gave me a bottle, I changed the bottle for money, and bought a house from them, did I know that you would give me a house at the beginning? Save a bottle -- hey, why is the bottle gone with the same result, is this the role of the market economy?
"So I'm in need of money now, and the company looks shiny, and it's hard to hold on, and if it doesn't get through this period with a huge amount of money, it's going to collapse."
“…… That's a trade secret, right? I asked cautiously.
"Before, it won't be soon." Chen Kejiao smiled self-deprecatingly.
"That's a good thing -- well, I mean we work together. I'm going to call our boss. "When I think that I am doing a business of hundreds of millions of dollars now, I am a little dizzy, so I will mention it by 5%, which is enough for this life. In fact, I have been so busy that I have almost forgotten that I am a black-hearted pawnshop manager.
Chen Kejiao said: "Wait, listen to what I say, I know that you are also businessmen, ask someone to inspect the goods, and lower the price, these are all right, but I have a request." ”
"Say."
"Ten years."
"What do you mean?"
"Very simply, this means that my father's antiques should be kept in your bank for no more than 10 years, and if we redeem them in advance, we will pay liquidated damages as agreed."
I reminded her: "Then you think about it, the annual storage fee of 20% is equivalent to quadrupling in 10 years, and you have to redeem 1.2 billion yuan of 400 million things." ”
"You don't have to worry about this."
"What if you don't have the power to redeem it?"
Chen Kejiao said in an unquestioning tone: "I must be able to." ”
I vaguely feel that something is wrong, but I can't say what's wrong, fortunately I still have a Hao boss, now I'm just worried that he can't take out so much money, although Lao Hao is a predator in the industry, but has always been known to lose money, the old guys in the same industry have secretly calculated him, the most lost money in a year net of 4 million, and do the pawnshop business, even if it really loses a few years, as long as a good thing falls into the hands of the immortal and become a Buddha, Lao Hao has been doing it for so many years, no one can know his depth.
Lao Hao heard that it was me, it seemed a little affectionate, we chatted a few words and then I told him the matter in detail, and when I finished speaking, the opposite side did not move for a long time, I thought that Lao Hao was happily confused, but I didn't expect that without warning, Lao Hao scolded me:
"You don't do things with your brains? Let me ask you, why do we only have the highest number of years and not the lowest - it's very simple, the lowest is 2% of the storage fee even if it passes through our hands for a second, and we don't lose anyway, the highest? 3 years, because 3 years is the limit we can control, the longer the time, the more variables, currency depreciation, inflation, natural disasters, wars, do you dare to guarantee that none of these things will happen in ten years? ”
Chen Kejiao saw that my face was getting more and more ugly, and walked out consciously.
I immediately said flatteringly: "Shopkeeper, don't be angry, besides, you can't hope that our motherland will be better?" Antiques are also appreciating. ”
Lao Hao calmed down and said: "Okay, even if ten years of stability and prosperity have passed, I only ask you one thing: In these ten years, what can you do with these 400 million and not make twice as much?" Let's talk about the problem of appreciation, let's say that the antiques of 400 million are worth 4 billion in ten years, and the people just redeemed them, so are you keeping them for nothing in the past ten years, and you have to be afraid, and you have to pay for the loss of things, do you understand when I say this? ”
There are still people in this world who understand! Chen Kejiao, this woman, she is here after all! I'll just say what's wrong, this girl and I have a time difference, I want to understand but also a little sad: my brain, it seems that it is time to say goodbye to the pawnshop.
There is a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, 400 million, which may not be anything to the Chen family in the past, but now it is life-saving money, so Chen Kejiao, a camel who is about to lose weight, said to our horse: Let me bite you a few bites, and when I get fat again in ten years, I will spit out the meat that eats you and return it to you, she never thought that this horse could not stand it.
In the end, Lao Hao made a summary in one sentence: "This deal, there is still something to be done in terms of price-the key is, I can't take out that much money." ”
Depend on! If you don't have money, you say you don't have money, Bai trained me for a long time, why are people so unkind now?
Chen Kejiao came in again and saw that I had a blue face and knew that there was no play, I pinched the phone and didn't know what to say, the two of us looked at each other for a few seconds, but it was more embarrassing than two people who didn't say anything to stay together for half a year, in boredom, I used a mind-reading technique on her, and only a few words rolled around on my phone screen......
This woman didn't seem embarrassed that she was trying to trick me into being recognized, she was just chanting about her father repeatedly.
I couldn't bear to sarcastically say anything to her, so I could only say as if comforting her: "No one wants to keep things with unlimited appreciation potential for others, why don't you sell them?" ”
Chen Kejiao wiped her hand in the air and said resolutely: "The word sell is gray in my options bar!" ”
It took me a long time to understand what she meant by never considering selling, MB, and was about to fall into selling herself and talking so aristocratic.
Chen Kejiao subconsciously puffed up her chest, hid the loss in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, took one last look at me, pushed the door and left.
I sat there, my eyes unintentionally looking into the square, and suddenly I felt a little uncomfortable.
Chen Kejiao's straight chest seemed to have touched a soft corner of my heart. At this time, a lazy figure on the field came into my eyes, I ran out of my legs, and shouted to Chen Kejiao's back after going out: "You stop!" ”
Chen Kejiao looked back in amazement and said, "What? ”
I pointed to the man and said, "Maybe he can help you!" ”
Chen Kejiao looked along my hand, and saw a thin old man carrying a small horse in his left hand and an erhu in his right hand, strolling around here and there with nothing to do, looking like a charlatan at a temple fair.
Chen Kejiao stomped her foot: "If you don't help, you don't need to play me like this, right?" ”
I scolded in my heart: Lao Tzu is about to be forced to change his name to Xiao Xiaorou, you thief and cheap little girl still talk to Lao Tzu like this!
