What happened next was not as complicated as imagined, the steel sisters who had been abstinent for many years were like a dam that was about to burst, and once there was a gap, it would cause a monstrous flood and go out of control.

In fact, strictly speaking, Xiang Caidie is far from the word "old", for the lifespan of the big town guard level, forty years old is only equivalent to the golden age of twenty-five or sixteen years old, not to mention that she still has a great chance to impact the lord level.

But after all, after being lonely for so many years, the fire in my heart has either been suppressed like a dynamite barrel, or has completely disappeared.

Xiang Caidie is obviously the former, and it is extra-large. When the fuse was completely ignited, the embankment was finally blown across, and the flood water rushed out, instantly submerging reason.

And under Chen Xing's persuasion and threat, like a female beast trapped in a cage and wailing in despair, he signed many unequal treaties of the vanquished. For example, she vowed never to reveal what happened today to anyone, otherwise she would be doomed, and for example, admitting that she was a shameless old woman, under all kinds of temptations, she finally made a big mistake, but the fault was not the other party, the other party was just an innocent victim, etc.

In short, sinners who bear all the guilt and shame.

After a pleasant noon, coming out of Beiqiao Town, Chen Xing had two more truckloads of jade.

It's a pity that the Beiqiao regiment didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was a useless stone, and the damage rate of jade reached one-third. Chen Xing planned to drag it to Gray Corner City and find some craftsmen to tinker with it, but if it didn't work, he would make smaller objects.

Chen Xing's hype plan is to first let people auction in various royal cities, and then find some familiar businessmen to bid, and buy it back after the auction. Although there will be a lot of money lost in the middle, because the commission charged by the auction house is calculated according to 5% of the transaction price, after a round of operation, it can increase the popularity of the auction item in disguise and provide a basis for the market price.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing suddenly found a serious problem - he lacked relevant talents and had to run by himself.

But the problem is that he is now the head of a town, the president of the Hanging Skull Alliance, and if he runs here, he will lose there, and it is impossible to do everything himself.

It seems that attracting talent has become a top priority.

Chen Xing thought about it carefully and found that although there were many people under him, none were business-related, social-related, or politically power-related.

Big Cat, Wu Jinjian, and Cassie are leading troops to fight, and Claire's four mothers and daughters are mainly logistics-related, although they involve some business, they are essentially executors, just implementing the plan he set, and they are not experts in a certain aspect.

Take, for example, the three kingdoms on Earth.

Under Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the troops to fight and were military generals. Zhuge Liang is a military advisor and a civil official. In addition to formulating strategies, there is also a very important role, that is, Zhuge Liang represents the Jingzhou scholars and receives the support of the local scholars, which also lays the foundation for Liu Bei to enter Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang helped Liu Bei in two directions, one was to formulate a strategic military division, and the other was a bridge to unite the local scholars.

He Chen Xing is not an all-rounder, and he also needs to be assisted by people from all walks of life. And even if he is an all-rounder like Cao Cao, he can do anything, Cao Cao still wants his think tank, and Cao Cao has more people than Liu Bei.

To put it simply, he also needs his Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Guo Jia, and Lu Su......

Even Tienuo had Shen Guangming back then. Although Shen Guangming is now dead, the strategy he set still affects the Thunder Light Regiment.

But now he doesn't go out to fight for the world, and he doesn't need a military advisor for the time being, but there must be HR who is responsible for mining talents, and there must be talents who are responsible for business operations.

A mature organization, like a company, is divided into various departments, each of which takes on a direction of work.

If he has a commercial department now, he can simply leave the task to the department manager, give them a strategic direction, and ask about it on a regular basis, and basically solve the problem.

Everything must be done personally, and before the money is earned, the boss is tired to death first.

In order not to be a tired boss, Chen Xing began to search for memories, and among the people he knew, there were any reliable talents.

First of all, he thought of the fat man Akita he met on the plane, who is now a teacher at Baita Academy and an apprentice of Baita University scholar Fo Yongqi, so he should have two brushes anyway. Even if it doesn't work anymore, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it must be more knowledgeable than the average person, and it is better to use it as a walking encyclopedia.

Find a time to get in touch and see what the other party thinks, it's impossible not to study for a lifetime and not make a contribution, right?

Then he thought of the fat man Lu Dahai, who knows the roots, has a reliable character, has also done business for so many years, and has the will to develop.

The top priority now is to solve the matter of jade sales, Chen Xing will do it as soon as he thinks about it, and immediately contact Lu Dahai and ask the other party to meet in Gray Corner City.

When Lu Dahai heard that there was a big business to do, he immediately rushed over.

Two days later, the two met at the third uncle's café.

"You say this thing can be sold for a lot of money?" Lu Dahai looked at the jade Ruyi in his hand and asked suspiciously. After all, this thing is beyond his cognition, and it is difficult for people to believe that a handicraft carved from a green stone has great value.

"Scarcity is expensive." Chen Xing said.

"Hmm......" Lu Dahai nodded thoughtfully.

"And I found out that the Eastern Continent used to prevail before the cataclysm, and now they still have it in the museum."

"If it's true, then this thing is nine out of ten." Lu Dahai said.

"I've already investigated, just don't worry." Then, Chen Xing told Lu Dahai his thoughts.

Use the auction house to raise prices and awareness first, and then promote it online.

The network relies on "traffic", that is, how many people can see the advertisement. Chen Xing has Sora, this is naturally not a problem. However, it is impossible for him and Lu Dahai to tell the truth, that is, there is an acquaintance who knows how to promote the Internet, and he will just hand it over to the other party when the time comes.

"If this thing can be done, in addition to the money for work, you will be given a dividend of one percent." Chen Xing said. According to the valuation in Chen Xing's heart, this batch of goods can be sold for three or four million, and Lu Dahai can get tens of thousands of gold coins for dividends.

If you want to be efficient, you must be willing to make profits, and everyone has money to earn together. Only by giving up a small amount of money can you make a lot of money.

After the matter was finalized, Lu Dahai began to look for suitable business partners, signed agreements with them, and then went to the major royal city auction houses to speculate.

With Sora's covert help, things went well, and soon it was the day of the auction in Monitor Lizard City.

The auction hall was crowded and full, in fact, more than half of the people were from Chen Xing's side.

After auctioning off a few bits and pieces, the auctioneer took out a jade ruyi.

"This is a collection of jadeite from the ancient oriental culture, which was prevalent in the eastern continent for a long time before the cataclysm, and interested friends can visit the museum in the eastern continent to confirm it."

"This jade artifact is called Erlong Zhuzhu Ruyi, the carving is exquisite, warm and transparent, unearthed from the left-hand plane of the homologous world, the starting price is 2,000 gold coins, and the price is not less than 100 gold coins each time."

When the words fell, the audience was silent, and no one bid, because no one knew the collection value of the jadeite artifacts.

It is true that this jadeite artifact is turquoise and transparent, and the craftsmanship is exquisite, and the two oriental dragons are carved vividly, and you can know at a glance that it came from the hands of the master. But as a collectible, whether it looks good or not is secondary, whether it can maintain its value is the first, and no one wants to spend a lot of money to buy a collectible of unknown value.

"Two thousand gold coins bid for the first time."

"Two thousand gold coins bid for the second time."

"2,000 Gold Coins Bid Third ......"

Seeing that the auction was about to fail, several businessmen held up signs at the same time.

"There are six gentlemen holding signs at the same time, and the price automatically rises to 2,600 gold coins, has anyone put down the signs."

"There are also four gentlemen holding signs at the same time, and the price automatically rises to three thousand gold coins, has anyone put down the signs."

After several rounds of bidding, Erlong played with pearls and jade Ruyi rose to 4,000 gold coins.

"Sir, can you inquire about the value of this thing?" A wealthy businessman couldn't help but ask the bidder next to him.

"To be honest, I don't know." The bidder shook his head, "Anyway, it's a few thousand gold coins, buy it and play with it." ”

Wealthy businessmen will be suspicious, after all, they are all competitors sitting here, and it is normal for them to refuse to disclose information.

In a blink of an eye, the price of Jade Ruyi was raised to eight thousand gold coins, and it was finally sold.

The winning bidder seemed to be in a good mood and accidentally slipped his mouth.

"Honestly, it's a lot like the heirlooms we have in our family. The turquoise and transparent, the treasure is striking. Our family comes from the Eastern Continent, and due to wars and natural disasters, we have traveled to many places

The road is bumpy, and the heirloom has long been lost. This time, I was able to buy back a jade treasure, which can be regarded as an explanation to the ancestors. ”

After a short break, the auctioneer took out a second jadeite artifact.

"An emerald jade bracelet, the starting price is 5,000 gold coins, and the bidding price is not less than 150 gold coins each time......"

As soon as this brilliant jade bracelet appeared, it immediately caused a wide range of exclamations.

Because its color is the same as that of an emerald gemstone, only the texture on the inside is slightly different. The market price of jadeite may not be clear, but emerald gemstones are valuable treasures known to women and children.

This jade bracelet has an indescribable beauty, as green as water, natural, more flawless than ordinary emerald gemstones, but the price is less than one-tenth.

The reason why gemstones are gemstones is that they can arouse the possessiveness in people's hearts.

Its essence is a beautiful and rare stone, whether it is diamond, amber, agate crystal or jadeite, the essence is the same.

The price of the jade bracelet soon exceeded 10,000 and continued to rise, and finally stopped at 23,600 gold coins.

The person who got it was ecstatic and gave an interview to reporters.

"This is definitely the cheapest emerald bracelet I've ever bought!"

In the following period, similar things continued to happen in the auctions of the royal cities all over the Ambergris River.

At the same time, articles about jadeite collectibles spread wildly on the web. Some articles describe the past and present life of jadeite, and its relationship with ancient oriental cultures, some articles point out the possibility of the existence of scams, and some articles teach people to identify the authenticity of jadeite.

Many merchants from the Eastern Continent came to the Ambergris River, full of curiosity about the products of the same culture, and wanted to get a glimpse of it.

In just two weeks, with Sora's secret push, the topic of jade soared to the first place on the whole network.

A jadeite collecting craze began to gradually blow up in aristocratic circles.

By the beginning of December, a small number of aristocratic circles in Ice Blue City had appeared wearing jade pendants to attend balls.

As time went on, by mid-December, the jadeite collecting craze gradually heated up, and then a new round of competition to show off the wealth began.

Aristocrats are proud to own one or two jade ornaments, flaunting their pursuit of trends and taste in life.

Chen Xing shipped a large number of goods, and as of a few days before the harvest festival, sales had reached more than three million gold coins.

But instead of selling all the best jadeite, he sold half and left half. He also hired fifty or sixty jewelers through his third uncle, who worked day and night to repolish damaged jade and put it on the market.

earned more than three million, Chen Xing didn't dare to swallow it alone, and took out one million to honor Hua Beidou. After all, they have trained two such good apprentices for him, so he can't treat each other badly, right?

Although Hua Beidou is not short of this little money, no one will refuse the money he takes for nothing, and praised Chen Xing for the first time, saying that he has a "clever head", and asked him to smoke a handmade cigarette.

Seeing Chen Xing send the money back, Xiang Caidie was even more overjoyed, and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect that a few broken stones could be sold for money, I have a new understanding of your cunning." ”

However, her compliment made the party very unhappy, so after leaving Hua Beidou, the party found her privately.

"When you mention me in the future, pay attention to your wording." Chen Xing warned. It is okay to say that he is "wise", but it is not okay to say that he is "cunning", the former is praiseworthy, and the latter is obviously derogatory.

The always tough female man had a twinkle in her eyes and didn't dare to look him directly.

"Did you hear what I said?" Chen Xing raised his voice.

"Oh, oh......" the woman nodded timidly.

"I'll make you remember that there is a price to be paid for making mistakes." Chen Xing's eyes showed a fierce light, and then Xiang Caidie showed despair.

A new round of conquest will soon begin, and this time it will not end so easily. Since it is a punishment, it is necessary to leave a deep enough memory. Otherwise, the same mistake will be made again, and she will remember it for the rest of her life once. Every time I say the wrong thing, I remember the pain of that day.
