Chapter 280: Map of the Territory of the Ming Empire
The cold dew has passed, and the frost is coming.
The cold air currents and gloomy sky can't hide the colorful colors of modern society, and the bustling city center is still full of traffic, pedestrians, fashionable women wearing colorful tweed coats and short skirts, and the roar of cars, mobile phone ringtones and the sound of music playing on large advertising screens at street corners are endless.
Zhu Daolin came to the door of the splendid jewelry store again, silently watching the fashionable men and women coming in and out, and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
As everyone knows, his tall figure, long flowing hair and old brown-green military trench coat on his body are also a unique scenery in the eyes of handsome men and beauties who come and go.
The owner and wife of the gemstone jewelry store were quite surprised to see Zhu Daolin who had not been seen for a long time.
The boss, who was introducing the new French gemstone necklace to the two beautiful young women, strode up, shook hands with Zhu Daolin warmly and said hello, apologized that there were not enough people in the store, and he couldn't separate for a while, and instructed his wife to ask Zhu Daolin to go upstairs to choose first.
Zhu Daolin politely said that it didn't matter, followed the proprietress to the VIP area on the second floor, and just went upstairs when he heard a low laugh behind him, and the two beautiful young women asked the boss for their names, and were amused by the personable boss's few subtle ambiguous words.
"Mr. Zhu, you take a look at this brochure first, the 25 new products launched by the Paris company in the second half of the year are all on it, and I will bring your favorite bracelet and necklace for you to choose."
The proprietress delivered the hot coffee to Zhu Daolin, and threw Zhu Daolin a wink before leaving.
Zhu Daolin smiled slightly, picked up the product promotional color and flipped through it, and was quickly attracted by a sapphire platinum necklace that he had never seen before. ”
The proprietress smiled exaggeratedly: "Mr. Zhu is really extraordinary, this is the award-winning work at the Brussels International Jewelry Exhibition in August." Only 500 pieces are sold in the world, and as the largest gemstone jewelry agent in China, we only got 1 piece, and we didn't dare to put it out, and the price was not cheap. ”
"How much?"
Zhu Daolin glanced at her and began to appreciate the dozens of gemstone jewelry he had just brought.
The proprietress pondered for a moment: "May I ask who Mr. Zhu wants to give it to?" ”
Zhu Daolin replied casually: "Give it to my wife." She had never been willing to buy a decent piece of jewelry in her life. ”
The look of emotion in the eyes of the proprietress flashed, and after thinking about it, she quoted a more realistic price: "In this case, we will definitely give Mr. Zhu a discount, a fixed price, 120,000!" Less we won't make money. ”
Zhu Daolin nodded: "It's worth the price, I want it." ”
The boss hurried up and was quite surprised to listen to his wife's whispered report.
In recent years, there are countless rich people who buy jewelry for their wives and lovers, but it is rare to buy a gemstone necklace of 120,000 yuan for their mother, so they nodded and told their wives to open the safe. took out the sapphire platinum necklace, walked to Zhu Daolin and sat down without speaking, took the coffee handed by the waiter, and silently waited for Zhu Daolin to choose jewelry.
Zhu Daolin raised his head and pointed to the large tray on the crystal table: "I want it all, help me change into a mahogany box or a Chinese-style brocade box without foreign language logos, okay?" ”
The boss was stunned and looked at the dazzling array of gemstone jewelry on the tray. Raise your head and sincerely suggest:
"Mr. Zhu, do you want to pick again? There are 20 gemstone bracelets and 15 gold, silver and gemstone necklaces, plus 12 different styles of gemstone rings. At least 5 million is needed, does Mr. Zhu really want to finish? ”
"Give me a discounted price, and I will buy it from you next time, most of the gemstone jewelry in this tray will be given to my business friends." Zhu Daolin replied calmly.
The boss showed a bright smile: "Wait a minute, I will personally select the box for you, and I will make sure that each piece of jewelry has a beautiful packaging that matches it!" I'll send you another aluminum suitcase. Made by the French, it's not only beautiful but also very strong! ”
Two hours later, Zhu Daolin came to the office of the old customer Zhejiang Silk Company, and with the enthusiastic help of Aunt Gao, the director of the office, he carefully selected a total of 500 high-grade silk fabrics in 12 colors, including bright yellow Jiulong moire special silk fabrics. Leave the address of Heshan Villa, go to the bank to transfer money at the agreed delivery time, and go straight to the old customer Polaris Watch Sales Company, select 20 mahogany pendulum clocks and 10 pure gold antique pocket watches, and instruct the manager to send them to Heshan Villa together with two batches of customized clocks.
At the end of dinner, Zhu Daolin did not play chess with his father again, but gave his mother the sapphire platinum necklace he bought today, pulled Chu Mei into the study before his mother's excited tears fell, and told Chu Mei his request:
"Do you remember the set of provincial atlases that you asked Liang Cheng and Liang Cheng to reprint for me? I want a map of the Ming Dynasty that is 5 meters high and 4 meters wide, including the whole of Mongolia, Nuergandusi and Beihai in the north, which is now Lake Belga, eastern Kazakhstan and the entire Pamir Plateau in the west, the entire southern Tibet region in the southwest and the whole of northern Myanmar, Shangliao and Annam, the Korean Peninsula and the Ryukyu Islands in the east, and the Nansha Islands, which have always belonged to us. ”
Chu Mei nodded: "I can do it twice as big, but I have very poor history and geography, unless you come with me, do it on the computer first, and ask Mr. Liang to find his friend to print it out on a large machine tomorrow...... Our company's machine can't make it that big. ”
Zhu Daolin was overjoyed: "Okay! Let's come together, first download the historical atlas, which has the territory maps of all dynasties, and then I say you will edit it......"
All night, Chu Mei and Zhu Daolin were busy in front of the computer, until the distressed parents called the two out for breakfast.
At the urging of their parents, the two came to the dining table hand in hand, explained a few words to their parents, ate breakfast in three or two and went into the study again, and did not complete the final review of ancient place names until ten o'clock in the morning.
After downloading the new version of the "Territory Map of the Ming Empire", which is more than twice as large as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Chu Mei was already so tired that her eyelids were fighting, Zhu Daolin was still in good spirits, picked up Chu Mei, who had worked hard, and kissed her a few times and put her on the bed, covered the quilt for her, and said that she would go home for dinner at night, take the mobile hard drive and rush to the printing company to find Liang Cheng.
In the afternoon, Zhu Daolin went to the city to buy a 600 yuan domestic astronomical telescope, and asked Boss Yu to go to his Chengbei warehouse together, buy the set of 81 Jingdezhen high-grade enamel imperial porcelain worth 16,888 yuan for display, and immediately changed the packaging in the warehouse, together with the astronomical telescope, and also changed the wordless corrugated box packaging, and then put it into a sturdy plywood wooden box, and directly stuffed it into an off-road vehicle and transported back to Heshan Villa.
