Chapter 159: Preparations

"How's this one? I look at this special flash. In the VIP room of Debbie Jewelry in Boston, Duke gestured with a diamond ring that was more than 5 carats. Come on, give it a try. ”

Looking at the eyes full of shiny small stones, Shu Ya's eyes also flashed, even if she was a genius and beautiful girl, she had no resistance to such a thing as diamonds, and the two of them had tried several jewelry stores for choosing a wedding ring, but they were not satisfied.

At Debbie's Jewelry, Duke noticed a diamond ring with a diamond that seemed to have a particularly sparkling diamond.

"This gentleman is so discerning, you have chosen a near-perfect diamond. First of all, this loose diamond is almost colorless, it belongs to the high-end J grade in color, with EX perfect cut, so that it can reflect almost all the diamond brilliance, fully reflect the fire, so it is particularly shiny, plus the IF level ultra-high clarity, there are almost no flaws, not only very beautiful, but also an excellent high value preservation investment. ”

The sales manager on the side hurriedly whispered that although the two customers in front of them were too young to speak, and they looked inconspicuous in the Mercedes-Benz S-class car, they seemed to be not small, because the two of them were followed by two bodyguards. Judging from the posture, it looks like the second generation of Dongfeng Fu who spent a lot of money.

So the sales manager was very energetic, and carefully invited the two into the VIP room, where the diamond rings are very different from the outside furnishings, the smallest are more than 3 carats, and the most expensive treasure is a 7.05 carat perfectly cut, color and clarity are close to the highest grade of loose diamonds to make a diamond ring, the price is as high as 2 million US dollars.

However, Shu Ya resolutely refused to try on this treasure of the town store, although Shu Ya only earned 100 million US dollars not long ago, and her shares in MI Company are worth more than one billion US dollars, and there seems to be nothing to consume such a thing in terms of net worth, but for such a luxurious thing, Shu Ya still thinks that it is completely unnecessary.

In her opinion, women are not just decorated by diamonds, and it is not worth spending money on this.

However, the one Duke chose also looks good, in terms of cut, clarity and color, it is almost exactly the same as the treasure of the town store, but it is a little smaller, only 5.18 carats, although the price is much less than the treasure of the town store, but the selling price of $399,000 is still a sky-high price that ordinary people can only look up to.

Under the light, the large diamonds sparkle and radiate infinite brilliance, reflecting the delicate and delicate fingers, which makes people feel flawless. Shu Ya is a little in love.

"That's it." Duke decided. Then choose a relatively low-priced 5.02-carat diamond ring for yourself, although the weight is almost the same as Shuya's, but due to the difference in clarity and color grade, the price is far behind, this one is only 100,000 US dollars.

Compared to diamonds, he prefers the Jaeger-LeCoultre watch that Shu Ya just bought for him, the price of more than 10,000 US dollars is not too expensive, the style is simple and generous, and it is very practical in the world, so that Duke can avoid the problem of calculating the time difference between the two parties when contacting Cai Siqiang and his family.

By now, Duke and Shuya have come naturally, so in addition to informing their parents in China to prepare, the two have begun to prepare some necessary things for marriage abroad, such as wedding dresses and wedding rings.

Buying a ring Shuya can be regarded as moderation, but buying a wedding dress is a little crazy. Considering that Duke's aesthetic is indeed unsatisfactory, Shu Ya took Selena and Suzanne for three days, almost running all over the famous wedding dress stores in Boston, and the number of wedding dresses delivered home one after another made Duke dumbfounded, a full twelve sets of various wedding dresses, and he needed to buy a special hanger to hang them.

Of course, Duke also has a lot of dresses, and the eight sets of dresses make Duke feel like he is not preparing for a wedding, but for a wedding dress show.

Watching Shu Ya try on wedding dresses every day, happy as a lark, Duke felt that the money was worth it more than the diamond ring. It's just that so many wedding dresses have to be shipped back to China, and some clothes are damaged by luggage consignment, so Duke spent a lot of saliva to persuade Shuya to find professionals to pack them and send them to China through the courier company.

The two of them sweetly prepared all kinds of wedding items in Boston, and after buying them, they sent them directly to China, and the domestic banquet reservation was handed over to Cai Siqiang, who was originally extremely difficult to book a good five-star hotel in such a short period of time, and the days around Christmas have always been a popular time period for marriage, and many people started booking a year in advance.

Cai Siqiang didn't think it was difficult at first, and directly ordered the people below to do it, but his subordinates ran all over the five-star hotels and were told that they were fully booked! Holding the money and not spending it, Cai Siqiang became a little anxious, and had to ask Director Lin of Dongcheng District for help, and the two of them had a lot of contacts on the restructuring of Lingfeng Factory, and they became acquainted with each other.

Moreover, it is said that most of the investment in the Lingfeng factory navigation production line will be in place this year, and the production and export capacity of one billion US dollars will be formed next year.

Cai Siqiang said about this on the phone, "Mr. Cai, no problem, you can choose the five-star hotel in Dongcheng District, and if you fancy the five-star hotel in other districts, I will help you coordinate." Director Lin didn't say a word, and said with all his mouths in agreement.

Although the hotel is fully booked, where will the current high-end hotels book all the time, in fact, each will reserve a lot of time, just to deal with all kinds of emergencies.

For hotels in Dongcheng District, characters like Director Lin are naturally the key objects that need to be taken care of by hotels, so as long as Director Lin speaks, who dares not to buy the hotels in the district? Even in other districts, Director Lin is not confident that the problem is big, this is a matter of lip service, and the directors of other district offices must be very happy to sell this favor.

Everyone is mixed up in the system, and of course anyone will do this kind of favor.

"Thank you, Director Lin, I'll definitely come over for a drink then." Cai Siqiang said with gratitude, in China, enterprises are too closely connected with the system, and many things cannot be played without the strength of the system, even small things such as booking hotels, it is really difficult to operate without a competent person in the system like Director Lin.

"It must arrive, Boss Du's wine must be drunk, notify me when the time is set, I'll see if District Chief Zhang's time is coordinated, if it can be coordinated, maybe District Chief Zhang will also come to sit." Director Lin said with a smile.

This is basically a powerful person for Duke's wedding in disguise, and if he changes someone else, Director Lin will not do this for District Chief Zhang, it is too taboo to do so. But last time, District Chief Zhang personally came forward to find Duke to do work for Ling Feng, so Director Lin knew that Duke was the soul of SAL.

Now SAL has become a behemoth with a venture capital valuation of more than 20 billion US dollars, not to mention that District Mayor Zhang does not dare to take it lightly, even the secretary of the municipal party committee is probably on the list. To be able to have a relationship with such a person, District Chief Zhang will never absolutely Director Lin be troublesome.

In many cases, arranging what kind of scene the district chief attends is a matter of Director Lin's responsibility.

"Thank you so much, I will personally send the invitation to District Chief Zhang after the date is booked." Cai Siqiang said happily, most domestic marriages pay attention to a scene, and Duke can invite a deputy department-level real power figure like District Mayor Zhang to be present, even if he sits on the stage, it has improved a lot for the grade of this wedding banquet.

In the current living environment, compared with money and power, there is still a lack of confidence, no right to escort, no matter how many are floating clouds, think about how many rich people can be on the list of China's top ten richest people? Not to mention them, there seems to be a lot of exposure to this problem, but in the final analysis, it is caused by the defeat of the powerful people behind them in the power struggle.

A new generation of tycoons like Duke, who have risen completely out of the sun, is a rarity in the country. Even so, if the powerful people in the relevant departments want to bring SAL down, it will not be much difficulty. At least in the domestic market, the future is bleak.

Cai Siqiang's family has a long history, of course, he knows these situations, so he is full of expectations for the arrival of District Mayor Zhang. If you want to become a big company in China, it will not work without politics.

Unless the main body of the company is completely moved abroad. Otherwise, as SAL now does, the main income goes to the accounts of domestic companies, and it would be wishful thinking to get rid of the clamping of the relevant departments. To put it simply, don't look at SAL's account now has abundant funds, but the relevant departments really want to get stuck, and more than one million funds still want to flow out of the country.

This alone shows how much impact it has on the company.

Inviting competent people in the system to participate was originally something that Cai Siqiang had to consider, and Director Lin took the initiative to help basically finalize District Mayor Zhang, and Cai Siqiang was not ready to invite him again.

Although SAL is registered in the high-tech zone, since the failure of the management committee of the high-tech zone in the last competition for the brainwave game factory, Director Pi seems to have complained, and the contact with Cai Siqiang's side is inevitably a bit businesslike.

Of course, I lost the investment order of the brainwave game factory, and Director Pi ate some of the losses of Secretary Zhao of the Management Committee. But Cai Siqiang felt that Duke couldn't be blamed for this matter, so resentful, Director Pi's instrument pattern was a little too small.

Therefore, Cai Siqiang will not put on his hot face, and to put it mildly, even if the powerful people in the relevant departments can bring down SAL, it is not at the level of Director Pi.

Both at home and abroad are in full swing to prepare for Duke's wedding.
