The design of a successful jewelry set is no less difficult than the design of a successful software, which requires the designer to have a burst of inspiration and full control of the stamina.

Therefore, the income of these top designers is often very high. Liv took over Qin Shiou's job on behalf of Tiffany, regardless of the cost, the design fee alone cost 280,000 US dollars!

Seeing the initial contract, Qin Shiou sighed and said, "No wonder some people say that this is the entertainment of the rich, and it seems that we ordinary people can design a set of jewelry in a lifetime." ”

Liv covered her mouth and smiled: "No wonder Mr. Black said that you like to joke, Mr. Qin, if a person like you who has millions of black pearls and black gold centurion cards is an ordinary person, then wouldn't we want to live in a slum?" ”

Qin Shiou smiled, it seems that Little Blake has told some of his financial information to Tiffany. This is normal, how can Tiffany's store manager and chief designer take time out to accompany customers?

"Can it be cheaper?" Qin Shiou joked.

Liv smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, Mr. Qin, there is a gentleman who asked the same question as you, and the answer we gave at that time was: When President Lincoln came to buy jewelry, we didn't give any discount, so we can't give you a discount in order to be fair to customers." ”

Billy whispered to Qin Shiou and said with a smile: "Tiffany looks down on you very much, do you know who the 'Mr. There' in the mouth of Store Manager Liv is?" Dwight David Eisenhower! ”

Tiffany did give Qin Shiou enough courtesy. It was the chief designer who sent him to receive him, and the higher courtesy was the presence of the boss, which is generally only enjoyed by presidents, famous politicians, superstars, and the super-rich.

Don't say Tiffany pretends. As the top jewelry supplier in the United States, Tiffany & Co. can be called the exclusive jewelry supplier for the president of the United States.

Beginning in 1861, President Lincoln spent $530 in Tiffany's store to buy a pearl jewelry set for his wife, Mary, to wear at the president's re-election ceremony. Since then, other U.S. presidents and foreign heads of state have followed suit. At the last President Ma inauguration, his wife Michelle carried a brooch from Tiffany.

Qin Shiou can enjoy this treatment. In fact, it is not only the role of the black gold centurion card, he underestimated his status in the upper circle of the United States, and the dinner party of the Strauss family has made him a little famous in this circle.

After paying the deposit, Qin Shiou, accompanied by Liv, briefly visited the jewelry in Tiffany's flagship store. This is a routine treat designed to boost the customer's confidence in them.

Walking around in this luxurious palace, Qin Shiou was almost blinded, what gold and platinum are supporting roles here, and the protagonists are diamonds, gemstones, jadeites and all kinds of rare metals.

Qin Shiou just took a general look, the man is really boring to visit this place, if it is a gun shop, he will play for a while, what does the jewelry store mean to the big man?

After a little round, he took his leave. It's better to talk nonsense with Billy.

Originally, according to Qin Shiou's plan, he would not stay in New York. I sent the Black Pearl to Tiffany & Co. and flew straight home.

But Billy enthusiastically kept him to have fun in the Big Apple, and Qin Shiou thought that he was bored staying in the town all the time, so he stayed.

However, he didn't just play, and first talked to Billy about the publicity of Van Gogh's paintings, and Billy said that the publicity was very successful. Now the whole European collecting community is going crazy, and the Van Gogh Collection Museum in the Netherlands has sent people to contact them several times to get the paintings back.

Qin Shiou said: "If the Dutch are interested. Then talk to them, you don't have to go to the auction, you can sell at the right price. ”

He didn't take money very seriously, and it would be nice if Van Gogh's paintings were returned to the museum built specifically for him.

Billy smiled contemptuously and said, "Let them dream, those guys are talking to me about dedication and sacrifice, and want us to donate the paintings to the museum for free, you say, can it be done?" ”

"Not even when dreaming!" Qin Shiou said categorically, your sister, talk about dedication and sacrifice with Lao Tzu at this time? Why didn't you talk about it when you organized the Eight-Nation Coalition to brush up on our Kyoto dungeon?

After chatting about "Sunset in Montmaru", Qin Shiou took out his mobile phone again, showed the string of red coral pearls to Billy, and asked if it was worth it.

Although Billy is a diver, after all, he was born there, and he went to Columbia University in college, majoring in archaeology and art appreciation, so he has no ability.

After looking at the photographs, Billy said, "This is probably your Chinese cultural relic, and the pearls worn by your first- and second-class officials during the Qing Dynasty were made of red coral." However, this string should not be worthless, and there is no information on the beads that can prove the identity of its owner, so it cannot be sold for a high price. ”

Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's fine, it's a big deal, I'll leave it for decorations." ”

He was not interested in the cultural relics of the Qing Dynasty, and as a small angry youth, he was not interested in anything in the Qing Dynasty.

Listening to Qin Shiou's words, Billy laughed, he leaned in and said: "Although I said that this thing is not valuable, it does not mean that it cannot be sold at a high price, and the actual value of the item is not the same as its price." ”

Qin Shiou asked with interest, "Do you have any way to raise the price of this thing?" ”

"It's simple, hype! Isn't there no information on the pearl, let's find a way to get a little bit of it? Our family is very good at this thing, look at me, this time I have to show you my energy. ”

"What can I get to?"

"Now this string of pearls can be sold for up to 100,000 yuan, and I can make it sell for more than 1 million!"

"So powerful? You're going against the sky. ”

"Against the sky? Disobedience to God's will? It's not good, but to make you recognize me, I'll do it once. ”

Qin Shiou patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Good boy, work hard, I am optimistic about you." ”

Saying this, Qin Shiou couldn't help but laugh first.

But Billy is not joking, he really needs to show Qin Shiou what is unusual about himself, the painting "Sunset in Montmajou", strictly speaking, the income has nothing to do with him. But because of the cooperation agreement, he can still get a share of the money, so if he wants to take the money with peace of mind, he has to make the other partners realize the necessity of saving zài.

His ability is not only reflected in business, but also in eating, drinking and having fun.

The first thing you need to enjoy when you come to New York is the food, and this international capital boasts more than 18,000 restaurants that no other city can match.

It's no secret that New York is nicknamed the 'Big Apple', but less noticed is that the city is also known as the 'City of Food'.

At five o'clock in the evening, Billy took Qin Shiou to a tower-shaped building in Manhattan, and took the outdoor elevator directly to the roof, where dinner was served.

As a result, when taking the outdoor elevator, Qin Shiou teased...... (To be continued)
