Chapter Ninety-Six: A Grim Situation
Luckily, their luggage was simple, so they barely stayed long in the hotel and immediately took a domestic flight from Brasilia to São Paulo.
Seeing Yan Juan carefully guarding his backpack, Yan Yixin couldn't help but secretly laugh: "It's not a fragile thing, you don't have to worry about being crushed." ”
"Okay......" Yan Juan reluctantly handed him the backpack and put it in the upper suitcase, and reluctantly looked at it a few more times before retracting his gaze.
"There are places where you can try your skills, and if you can make a successful acquisition this time, you need to show your skills." Yan Yixin sat on her side and held her hand with a smile.
Yan Xuan thought of the near-legendary gem that he was about to witness, and couldn't help but have his eyes shining: "But, can you use that much amount of money?" Even if you buy a diamond, you won't have such a large amount, right? ”
"Well, I'll ask my grandfather, and if it's really a Kashmir sapphire, he will agree to my offer. Hopefully there will be fewer people competing for the acquisition this time, after all, I can't break the sapphire record again. ”
"But you said that India has always been the focus of Lu's acquisitions, will it cause conflict?" Yan Juan asked worriedly. Lu Wenjun's father, Lu Feng, is her father-in-law, and he has been together for three years, although he does not live together, even if he hears it, he knows how powerful this person is.
"Our boundaries are only diamonds, not sapphires." Yan Yixin smiled and comforted, "Let's recuperate on the plane, when we get to Sao Paulo, it should be eight o'clock." We had to leave early in the morning and rest a little earlier. ”
Yan Juan nodded and closed his eyes obediently. She thought she was still in the excitement, but after only a while, she fell asleep in a daze. Even when the plane landed safely, she just opened her sleepy eyes with relief.
"Arrived, don't want to get off the plane?" Yan Yixin's strong baritone, because the volume is lowered, but it brings a metallic aftersound.
Yan Juan even wanted to continue to immerse herself in such a sound and slept until dawn.
"Did you get to São Paulo?" She forced herself to open her eyes, stretched her hand, and withdrew it in a curt.
"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner first. São Paulo is known as the culinary capital of the world, and the last time I came to taste it was just the tip of the iceberg, today I will take you to taste other dishes. If you want to eat Chinese food, you can also do it, and it is quite authentic, which can comfort the homesickness. ”
Yan Juan shook his head: "Of course it's eating local Brazilian food!" If you want to eat Chinese food, you will have time after returning to Japan. "Walking in the city of São Paulo, the eye is full of modern concrete buildings, which stretch all the way through the thriving streets.
"São Paulo is the largest city in Brazil and South America, and enjoys the most important position in the country's business, business and financial sectors. Therefore, the atmosphere of modernity is very strong, and the distribution of skyscrapers is one of the densest cities in Brazil. ”
"Well, but ......," Yan Juan asked, pointing to a green 'color' wall, "...... here"
"This is a villa area, all small buildings with a 'flower' garden, very chic, like a foil in the metropolis, but you can live here. It's all either rich or expensive. Yan Yixin explained with a smile, "The style here is very good, the palm trees are tall and dense, the lawn area is also very large, and the greenery is very good." ”
"What are we going to eat today?"
"Brazilian barbecue 'meat'." Yan Yixin proposed without thinking, "I'll take you to eat the most authentic Brazilian barbecue 'meat', which is a national dish for the upper-class banqueters in Brazil." ”
Accompanied by red wine, they first tasted some side dishes, including grilled 'chicken' hearts, grilled large intestines, and grilled pork chops, after the long-awaited beef fire 'legs' and 'meat' were served. Yan Juan ate with his eyebrows flying and dancing, and the wind and dust along the way seemed to be roasted into light smoke.
"This fragrance seems to be overflowing from the bones, and it has a different flavor."
"Of course, if there is no special 'color', why is Brazilian barbecue 'meat' popular all over the world?"
Yan Yixin smiled and poured her a glass of red wine.
"I can't drink anymore, my face is about to burn!" Yan Juan used the back of his hand to cool his cheeks, "If you don't want to run away alone tomorrow, just let me go." ”
Yan Yixin looked at her red cheeks, compared to the usual light smile, it was another kind of style, and his heart was a 'swing', and he nodded subconsciously.
Full of wine and food, it is the time when people are drunk and 'want' drunk. The short hand on the watch already points to ten.
"Good night." Yan Yixin stopped him, hesitated for a while, and then fell on her 'lips'.
With the light aroma of red wine, today's 'kiss' seems to be sweeter than usual.
So, he couldn't help himself, and his palm retreated from the back of her neck to the front of her.
The two buttons on the neckline were easily unbuttoned by him, and the delicate skin seemed to burn under his palm.
The 'door' had been pushed open halfway, and Yan Yixin's eyes were a little 'confused' and 'chaotic', as if he was struggling to bring back his senses. But Yan Wan spit out a murmur that made him rush all the blood to the top of his head.
The ringtone of the "ring......" mobile phone made the two people who were 'confused' and 'confused' suddenly sober up. Now is not the time for men to love 'women'!
Buying it low, Yan Juan quickly buttoned the buttons of his shirt, his hands trembled a little, but he was not afraid.
"What? Okay, I see, thank you. ”
When Yan Yixin closed the phone, his face was a little gloomy. Yan Juan carefully held his hand, and found that the scorching temperature before had almost cooled down.
"What's wrong?" She asked softly. It's not good news, as she can imagine.
"The Lu family has rushed to India, it seems that this gem is not easy to get!" Yan Yixin frowned, "I am a beat behind in terms of time, and my foundation in India is not as solid as the Lu family, unless my offer can be much higher than the Lu family, it is possible to achieve the goal." ”
Yan Juan immediately said apologetically: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me." If it weren't for my time, you'd only be going to Brazil on Monday, so it would be much faster to travel from home to India. ”
"How could it be your business? Fool ......" Yan Yixin smiled and patted the back of her hand, like a gentle elder, "I was originally scheduled to go to Brazil today, maybe I was on the plane when the news came!" ”
Yan Wan muttered, "Is the main problem in price?" ”
"Well, but everyone knows the market, and the price will not be too different. The important thing is to look at the long-term relationship in the future. The Lu family is familiar with India, and the purchase of diamonds is India in addition to the British containers, so their roots are much deeper than the Yan family. It was from that red diamond that we got on the line with Indian businessmen. The foundation is naturally weak, not to mention the gemstones in India, we can buy them from other sources, there is no need to go to the Lu family. ”
"Except for this ......"
Yan Yixin pressed his mouth: "Yes, who would have thought that Kashmir, a mineral 'deposit' that has been depleted for more than 20 years, would have the best sapphires?" For most people, buying a cornflower sapphire from Sri Lanka or Madagascar has become mainstream. Although the production is not large, at least it is produced every year. ”
"Lu's reaction so quickly, it seems to be ......"
"Naturally, I got the news, and I'm afraid there are other jewelers who have also gotten the news, right?" Yan Juan quickly said, "This gem was born, and the parties naturally want to get more benefits." If you were in the country at the time, in this case, you may have been in India by now. ”
"The result is not very different, if you don't wait for these big businessmen to arrive, this gem will not be easy to hold." Yan Yixin shook her head and 'rubbed' her hair, "Don't think about it, go to sleep, and set off early tomorrow morning." ”
"But ......"
"Nothing, before the gem is settled, everyone has a chance. Since Yusha is the one who informed me, naturally it will not be particularly difficult for me, what matters is how much we can pay for this gem. ”
Yan Juan nodded as if he didn't understand, and when he turned around to close the 'door', he added: "Then you go to bed early, don't stay up late!" ”
"Hmm." Yan Yixin smiled and nodded.
But when she got up two days ago, Yan Juan was still sensitive to the bloodshot in Yan Yixin's eyes: "You haven't slept all night?" ”
"After discussing with my grandfather the biggest price we could pay, we knew that things would be much easier. I tried my best, but I couldn't take it down, and I had a clear conscience. Don't worry, I'll get a good night's sleep on the plane in a while. ”
Yan Juan nodded and asked curiously, "Isn't it just a gem?" Even if it is bought by someone else. It's not a big deal, is it? ”
"Lu's recent development momentum is very strong, and the last time at Christie's's auction, he also overwhelmed Yan's. If the sapphire was obtained by them this time, it would undoubtedly crush the Yan clan hard. On the contrary, if we can get it, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to Lu, who has always used India as the main supplier. Therefore, even if we can't get it, we can't let Lu snatch the diamond. ”
Yan Juan asked hesitantly: "Is the share of the Yan family and the Lu family in the jewelry industry about the same?" ”
"In recent years, Lu's expansion has been very strong, and it has focused on outward development. And we, the Yan family, have always paid attention to the share of the city. It can be said that if the share in the city is exceeded by 20% by the Lu family, the scale of Yan's development will be severely stifled by the Lu family. ”
Yan Juan watched Yan Yixin close his eyes and rest, and covered him with a blanket to his waist. Yan Yixin opened her eyes, smiled at her shallowly, stretched out her hand to hold hers, and closed her eyes again.
What was the end of the previous life? Yan Juan thought hard, but she didn't care too much about the jewelry industry before, and she didn't know this news at all.
Suddenly, her heart moved, she seemed to have worn a sapphire necklace, weighing fifteen carats, and she was in the limelight at that time. Could it be that Kashmir cornflower?
However, if the Yan family was squeezed out by the Lu family step by step like this, why did the complacent Lu Wenjun never mention the Yan family?
