Chapter 494 Trading

Although the transferred goods were not found, Zhu Peng compensated more than twice the value of the goods.

The culprit Xu Haiyang was also chopped off, this matter is in the past, and Xia Zhi only needs to find a more reliable steamship company and negotiate cooperation matters, and then he can leave Hong Kong.

Xu Fei has always been in charge of investigating Hong Kong's steamship company, and Xia Zhi asked Xu Fei, "Which company is the largest steamship company in Hong Kong?" What is the credibility? Who is the boss? ”

Xu Fei took out the information that had been investigated a long time ago and handed it to Xia Zhi, who opened it and saw that the largest steamship company in Hong Kong was the East Asia Group, and the chairman of the East Asia Group was called Li Changshou, who was 65 years old this year, and was already in a semi-retired state because of his poor health.

Most of the affairs of the East Asia Group are managed by the eldest son, Lee Chengfeng, who is the general manager of the group, and his second son, Lee Chengrong, the deputy general manager.

Because the two brothers are siblings, the relationship is very good, the eldest is responsible for the overall situation, and the second is responsible for the development of the company's shipping business.

Li Chengrong, known as Li Ershao, is 42 years old this year, divorced, and has a daughter, whose daughter is named Li Baozhu, 20 years old this year, and is a famous daughter and celebrity in Hong Kong's high society.

The key is that BEA Group has a good reputation and has cooperated with many large international companies.

After reading the information, Xia Zhi said to Xu Fei on the side, "Go and recuperate, let's go to the East Asia Group in two days and meet this Li Ershao." ”

Xu Fei answered and went back to his room to rest.

Xia Zhi said to Fan Lei, "You guys have also worked hard today, go back and rest." ”

The four of them answered and left.

Xia Zhi also took a bath himself, lay on the bed, missed Gu Beicheng and their children a little, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Xia Zhi woke up the next morning, called the other five people to go downstairs for a meal, and rested for a night, Xu Fei's injuries were much better, after all, he was still young, and he quickly recovered his vitality.

Xia Zhi saw everyone and said, "I finally came to Hong Kong, do you want to go out and buy something for your family?" ”

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it, Hong Kong is now an international metropolis, and the business here is much more prosperous than in China, and some things are cheaper than in China, after all, things that enter the inland are taxed, so the price is naturally more expensive.

Xia Zhi saw that the five people were very interested, and then handed the money that had been prepared long ago to the five people, and when the five people saw it, they hurriedly waved their hands, "Boss, we will take the money ourselves when we come." ”

"Yes, boss, the salary you gave us is already very high."

Everyone waved their hands, embarrassed to ask for more, Xia Zhi insisted with a smile, "Take it, if it weren't for you this time, that Zhu Peng would not have promised to compensate our company for its losses." ”

The company lost 200,000 yuan of cosmetics, but Zhu Peng compensated 400,000 yuan, and the company still made money.

The five of them smiled and took the money handed over by Xia Zhi, 500 Hong Kong dollars each.

Xia Zhi himself also likes the feeling of being rich and making money, but he is not stingy with everyone, and it can be said that he is very generous to his subordinates, and the rewards and punishments are clear.

This money can also be regarded as a reward for the previous performance of the five people, the five people have money in their hands, which greatly stimulates their desire to buy, after seeing the mall, several people are a little dazzled, not knowing what to buy.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but suggest, "If you don't know what to buy, buy some pure gold jewelry, or jade, jade pendants, bracelets, etc., these things can maintain their value." ”

In this era, you will definitely not lose money when you buy gold and jade jewelry, and if you buy more, you will make a windfall in the future.

After listening to Xia Zhi's words, several people's eyes lit up, and they all nodded in agreement, and finally Fan Lei bought a gold necklace for his daughter-in-law and a small gold bracelet for his son.

Xu Fei stood by the counter and asked Xia Zhi, "Boss, you said that I would buy all this money and save it in gold, how about it?" ”

When Xia Zhi heard this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's a good idea." ”

"Hey, hey." So, Xu Fei took out most of the money on his body, bought gold bars, and planned to save them.

Even Qin Yun and Sun Lu bought a few pieces of gold jewelry, planning to go back to honor their parents, but they were reluctant to buy them for themselves.

Xia Zhi found that the price of Hetian jade in the mall is very expensive, the most expensive is the best mutton fat white jade, and some jadeite with more bright colors is indeed not high.

In this era, the price of jadeite has not been speculated, and the price of jadeite is much lower than that of jade.

Xia Zhi even saw rings and pendants made of emeralds, and the price was only thousands of Hong Kong dollars, if these emeralds were in the future, an emerald ring would be worth tens of millions of yuan.

So Xia Zhi pointed to a few emerald jewelry on the counter and said to the salesperson, "Help me take out this jewelry." ”

The sales lady nodded in response, and brought the gesture of Xia Solstice to the counter, Xia Zhi asked while observing carefully, "These jewelry are all jadeite, right?" ”

The saleswoman smiled and said, "Yes, this is the best in jadeite, emerald." ”

Xia Zhi nodded with a smile, and then said, "Wrap all these jewelry for me, I want them." ”

When the saleswoman heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, Xia Solstice asked for so many things, and she could also get a lot of commissions, so she was naturally very happy.

Xia Zhi's arrogance also attracted the attention of many people, Xia Zhi didn't care about these, and after buying something, he directly asked the salesperson to send her to the Peninsula Hotel.

Summer Solstice bought so many things and spent so much money, and the mall was willing to provide this service.

Xia Zhi not only bought jadeite, but also bought some mutton fat white jade, now the jade is cheaper, after buying it to the children, not only the meaning is good, but also appreciated.

Xia Zhi also bought several jade bracelets, planning to give them to Mrs. Gu and sister-in-law Gu as gifts, compared to giving more perfume to Mrs. Gu, Xia Zhi felt that Mrs. Gu preferred this kind of old object.

Xia Zhi visited a few jade shops, and after a while, he spent nearly 100,000 yuan.

At this time, Xia Zhi was standing in front of an antique shop, and the owner of the antique boss had already noticed Xia Zhi and knew that Xia Zhi was not from Hong Kong, but from the mainland, and was very rich and arrogant.

Seeing Xia Zhi come to her shop, she immediately greeted her with a smile and said, "This is a distinguished guest, this young lady is also interested in antiques?" ”

Xia Zhi looked at the boss and said with a smile, "You still call me Mrs." ”

Generally, only unmarried people are called misses, and those who are married are called wives.

The antique boss is also a shrewd person, and when he heard Xia Zhi's words, he immediately changed his words and said, "This lady, the antiques in our shop are definitely the best in the whole of Hong Kong." ”

"Don't you know, so many rich people took refuge in Hong Kong back then, and their families were in the middle of the road, and they had no money so they had to take things as a thing.

I guarantee that the antiques in our shop are absolutely genuine, if you don't believe it, you can go and inquire, as long as everything that flows out of our shop, none of them are fakes. ”

For the boss's words, Xia Zhi just listens to it.

Seeing that Xia Zhi didn't speak, the boss continued to smile and said, "Especially those Eight Banner Masters back then, there were a lot of good things in their hands." ”

"When the Qing Dynasty was here, they were all gentlemen, even if they didn't do anything, the Qing Dynasty would pay for them, and they would eat and drink for the rest of their lives."

"Later, the Qing Dynasty was gone, and those Eight Banners masters had a lot of good things in their hands, and after coming to Hong Kong, in order to continue to live a good life and buy family property, they all took those good things as a treat."

As he spoke, the boss took out a blue and white porcelain vase and said to Xia Zhi, "Look at this, this is produced by the official kiln during the Qianlong period." ”

Xia Zhi nodded, looked closely, and found that it was genuine.

In his last life, the grandfather of the summer solstice was interested in antiques and taught him a lot of knowledge about antiques in the summer solstice.

I like to talk to Xia Zhi about antiques when I have nothing to do, so Xia Zhi is now half an expert, Xia Zhi asked directly, "How much is this bottle?" ”

The boss stretched out two fingers and said, "2,000 yuan." ”

Xia Zhi shook his head and said, "One thousand, I'll take it." ”

The boss immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said again and again, "No, no, this wife, a thousand yuan is too little, and it really can't be sold." ”

Seeing that the boss didn't sell, Xia Zhi pretended to sigh and turned around to leave, when the boss saw that Xia Solstice was leaving, where was he willing, he finally met a heroic one, where he was willing to let Xia Solstice leave.

The boss immediately stood in front of Xia Zhi, and said with a painful face, "This lady, if you really want it, give me 1500, no less." ”

Xia Zhi acted as a question, "That's it, 1200, if you are willing to sell me 1200, I will pick a few more pieces in your shop." ”

At first, the boss was a little disappointed when he heard Xia Zhi say that he was only willing to give 1,200 yuan, but then he heard Xia Zhi say that he would pick a few more pieces, and immediately said happily, "That's it." ”

Immediately after the summer solstice, I bought a piece of ancient jade from the Han Dynasty and a fan.

The style of this fan is nothing special, but the person who painted the inscription on it turned out to be Tang Yin, Xia Zhi's eyes flashed with a touch of surprise, Tang Yin is Tang Bohu, I didn't expect to see his masterpiece here, Xia Zhi naturally won't miss it.

I bought two more paintings of Qi Baishi, and in the end of the summer solstice, I spent a total of 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The antique shop is not open for three years, and it is open for three years, and these antiques are indeed very cheap from the perspective of later generations in the summer solstice.

But in the eyes of the boss, he did make a lot of money.

Because this boss's family used to run a pawnshop, how much can those people sell to the pawnshop?

So the boss earned at least five times, and naturally he was crazy with joy.

The boss carefully packed the antiques bought by Xia Zhi in a box, and Xia Zhi let Fan Lei take them and left the mall, Fan Lei was surprised by Xia Zhi's generosity, Xia Zhi bought jade They can understand, but what is the use of buying antique calligraphy and paintings?

If only a few years ago these things were dross and should have been destroyed.

Xia Zhi seemed to see the doubts of a few people, so he smiled and said, "We have an old saying in Huaguo, the gold of troubled times, the antiques of prosperous times, this prosperous era is about to come, and the price of this antique will rise at that time." ”

Originally, the four of them were puzzled, but Xu Fei secretly wrote down Xia Zhi's words, so when Xu Fei had money in the future, he really bought a few antiques.

Waiting to put the things bought in the hotel, Xia Zhi took a few people out to eat, this time they did not eat in the hotel, but found a hotel with a good reputation, ordered Hong Kong specialties, the taste is very good, several people are satisfied.

After eating, they walked around other places, and several people bought some small souvenirs, which they could go back to give to relatives and friends as gifts.

Two days later, the injuries on Xu Fei's face were much better than before, but the corners of his mouth and eyebrows were still bruised, so Xia Zhi let him stay in the hotel, and he himself took Fan Lei and the four of them to the headquarters of the East Asia Group.

The building of the East Asia Group is much more magnificent than the previous voyage steamship company, and when she walked into the building, the front desk lady saw the five people on the summer solstice, and immediately greeted her with a smile and said, "Hello few, I don't know if there is anything that can help you?" ”

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "I want to see your deputy manager, Mr. Li Chengrong." ”

The front desk lady asked Xia Zhi with a smile, "Then do you have an appointment?" ”

Xia Zhi shook his head and said, "I am the chairman of Xiacheng Group, Xia Zhi, I want to find your deputy manager to discuss some business cooperation between the two sides." ”

When the front desk lady heard this, she immediately said, "Then please leave your contact information, and I will convey your words to the deputy manager." ”

Xia Zhi thought for a while, then wrote the phone number of the room at the Peninsula Hotel where he was staying on the registration form at the front desk, and then said to the front desk lady, "I am staying at the Peninsula Hotel now, I don't have much time, I hope to be able to meet Mr. Li Chengrong as soon as possible." ”

The front desk lady immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry." ”

Xia Zhi didn't see Li Chengrong this time, and was a little disappointed, but he still left with the four of them.

Xia Zhi thought that she would have to wait a few days to see Li Chengrong, but she didn't expect that the next morning, she received a call from the front desk lady, saying that Li Chengrong wanted to see her, and the time was 10 o'clock in the morning.

Xia Zhi smiled and agreed, feeling more good about East Asia Group in his heart, it seems that East Asia Group still values customers very much.

Xia Zhi deliberately dressed up before going out, wearing a black vest on his upper body, a pair of high-waisted wide-legged pants on his lower body, and a pair of small black high heels, which made Xia Zhi immediately have an aura of two meters eight.

Xia Zhi's long hair was as smooth as satin, and he was tied in a bun at the back of his head, and he was painted with light makeup on his face.

Although Xia Zhi is in his 30s, the skin on his face is firm, the skin is moist, full of luster and elasticity, the eyes are bright and clear, and there is no trace of crow's feet at the corners of the eyes.

If she didn't say it herself, others wouldn't be able to guess his specific age at all, and more importantly, Xia Zhi had always maintained a young mentality, and there was no such twilight in her.

Xia Zhi took Fan Lei and the four of them to the East Asia Group, and after the front desk lady saw Xia Zhi, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Please follow me, our deputy general manager is already waiting for you." ”

Xia Zhi smiled and nodded to the front desk lady, and then followed her to the elevator to the ninth floor.

As soon as the elevator arrived, the front desk lady led them to an office, and the front desk lady smiled apologetically at Xia Zhi.

Then there was a knock on the door, and a man's sexy voice immediately came from inside, "Please come in." ”

The front desk lady opened the door, bowed to the man inside, and said respectfully, "Deputy General Manager, they are here." ”

The man seemed to nod, and then the front desk lady left the office, and Xia Zhi walked in.

I saw a middle-aged man sitting behind a desk in an office with a size of 100 square meters.

The man is tall, his hair is slightly yellow and curly, his skin is very white, and his face is a little tough.

The man's pupils are a little dark, outside the black pupils, there is a faint blue, the bridge of the nose is very high, and the lips are very thin, this is a very handsome middle-aged man.

Judging from the information, the wife of the chairman of the East Asia Group seems to be a foreigner, and the middle-aged man in front of him should be a mixed-race child.

Although Li Chengrong is very handsome, in Xia Zhi's heart, he is still the best looking in his northern city, so Xia Zhi's face has always remained calm and indifferent.

After Li Chengrong saw the summer solstice, his eyes flashed with amazement, the woman in front of him only looked at her appearance, she should not be very old, but she had a strong aura, and her temperament was even more graceful and luxurious.

From the information he obtained, the woman in front of him is 37 years old this year, but she looks like a 20-year-old girl, and her eyebrows and eyes are delicate and picturesque, and she is a woman who is easy to make people's hearts move.

Li Chengrong stretched out his hand with a smile and a gentle attitude, "Chairman Xia, please take a seat." ”

Xia Zhi nodded, and then sat down in front of Li Chenglong.

Li Chengrong said with a smile, "According to our information, Chairman Xia, your Xiacheng Group seems to be cooperating with a company called Yuanhang Steamship, why did you suddenly terminate the cooperation and choose us?" ”

Although Zhu Peng was unwilling in his heart, he still neatly paid Xia Zhi 400,000 yuan, a large part of the reason was to block Xia Zhi's mouth and prevent Xia Zhi from telling the matter of the transfer, otherwise their company's reputation would be bad, and this business would not be done.

Since Xia Zhi received the money, he will naturally keep his promise, Xia Zhi said with a smile, "Their company is too small, I don't feel at ease, I heard that East Asia Group is the largest steamship company in Hong Kong, I found you and wanted to cooperate, aren't you welcome?" ”

Li Chengrong laughed when he heard this, "How come? It is our honor that Chairman Xia can choose us. ”

"And according to some of the information I investigated, Chairman Xia, your company has unlimited potential, not only involving clothing, but even involving the home appliance industry, Chairman Xia is really not simple."

Xia Zhi smiled and did not speak.

Li Chengrong looked at Xia Zhi, but suddenly said, "The clothing produced by Chairman Xia's garment factory is very popular in Europe and the United States, have you ever thought about developing the Hong Kong market?" ”

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "I have indeed thought about this, but I haven't found an agent and seller yet." ”

Li Chengrong nodded, and then said with a smile, "If Chairman Xia is interested, I can introduce a few people to you, and maybe I can help you open up the Hong Kong market." ”

When Xia Zhi heard this, she couldn't help but be vigilant in her heart, she and this Li Chengrong met for the first time, the two were not related, why did Li Chengrong help her?

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Although I'm interested, I just don't understand, why would you help me?" ”

Li Chengrong looked at Xia Zhi with a smile on his face, and said with a smile, "I am helping Chairman Xia, I am helping ourselves, you have opened the Hong Kong market, and you have frequent business contacts, which is also beneficial to our company." ”

After all, transportation still depends on the East Asian bloc.

Xia Zhi thought about it, and said with a smile, "Then thank you very much." ”

Then the parties signed an agreement on cooperation.

Li Chengrong said to Xia Zhi, "Three days later, my father will be 65 years old, and celebrities from all walks of life will be invited to participate. ”

Xia Zhi smiled and nodded, "It is naturally an honor to be able to participate in the birthday banquet of the old chairman. ”

Li Chengrong has been sending Xia Zhi to the door, watching the Xia Zhi people leave, Li Chengrong subconsciously rubbed it with one hand, thinking in his heart, according to the information that the identity of this woman is not simple, it should be said that the identity of her husband's family is not simple, Li Chengrong sighed and muttered, "... It's a shame. ”

Soon after Xia Zhi returned to the hotel, she received an invitation sent to her by Li Chengrong, and the place where the birthday banquet was held was in the Li family's old house, a villa halfway up the mountain.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the injuries on Xu Fei's face had basically healed, so this time the six of them rented two cars and went to the Li family's old house.
