Chapter 16: A Trip to Shanghai (1)

On May 3rd, I came to Shanghai without informing my host and walked into Diamond Life's store in a busy area of Shanghai. Soon after the store opened, there were almost no customers in the lobby, the clerk was still making preparations, I was dressed in a relatively ordinary way, and I didn't look like a rich man, only when I heard a welcome when I entered the door, no one came up to greet me.

It's really a Buddha who wants gold, and people who want clothes!

The first floor of the entire store covers an area of about 500 square meters, divided into several large areas, gold hand ornaments, jewelry and jade, everything, and the price ranges from hundreds to tens of thousands. I turned around at random, and walked to the second floor, the second floor is the boutique area, the jewelry is more than 100,000, I look at the past one by one, neither ask the product, nor consult the clerk, this abnormal phenomenon attracted the attention of the waiter, and immediately reflected the situation, after a while, two security guards came up at the staircase, and the eyes were a little strange.

When I walked to the third floor, one of the foremen on the second floor said, "This gentleman, can I help you?" ”

I looked up and saw that the foreman who came over was in good physical condition and other aspects, but the smile on his face was too fake and a little disdainful.

"It's really judging people by their appearance." I sighed in my heart, "If you treat your guests with such quality, how can you talk about a first-class company?" ”

Thinking of this, I said, "Can I go up to the third floor and have a look?" ”

The foreman looked at me and said, "Are you sure you want to go?" The price of the third floor is more than one million yuan・・・・・・"

As soon as I heard this, I came up in anger, and without saying a word, I walked up the stairs quickly, and the security guard followed me.

The third floor is the VIP area, there is no physical object in the counter, I walked into a simple and elegant VIP room under the guidance of the clerk on the third floor, and tea was immediately served. More than a minute later, a girl in professional clothes walked in and said, "Hello, I'm Huang Yaping, assistant general manager of Baohui, please take care of me." ”

"Hello, please tell us about the characteristics of your store." I smiled and nodded to her.

"Okay, may I ask your surname, sir?"

"Don't be expensive, my name is Dugu Wuji."

A few minutes later, the clerk brought in three jewelry boxes and a beautiful picture book, and the assistant Huang began to introduce them one by one. She was very patient, knowing that I had no intention of buying, but she impatiently introduced all kinds of jewelry and gold jewelry in Shanghai, and her enthusiasm for work made me have to say that I had to say admiration.

Seeing that the time was approaching eleven o'clock, I called Chairman Huang Yutang and told him that I was on the third floor of Diamond Life. Half an hour later, a rush of footsteps sounded, rushing into the VIP room.

"Oh, brother, why didn't you say a word and came! I'm snubbing you. Huang Yutang's tone was apologetic.

"It's okay, it's okay, Shanghai is so close." I stepped forward and took his hand.

The person next to me quietly retreated under Huang Yutang's gesture, only the assistant gave me a strange look when he withdrew, and that look was a little weird. Huang Yutang took out his mobile phone and made a call, and then said to me: "It's a coincidence today, I'll take you to meet someone at noon, and call Zhang Wei and them in the afternoon, and have a good gathering in the evening." ”

"Okay, you can arrange everything."

Then, we walked out of the VIP room, and as we passed the second floor, we walked down under the surprised eyes of the foreman and the clerk. Get in the car of Topaz Hall and head to your destination.

A small alley, a quaint courtyard, without the irritable noise of the city, here is a private restaurant, the area is not large, more than a dozen large and small boxes, very quiet. Enter a pre-booked box where there is already a person waiting.

"Come, let me introduce you, this is Gao Ming, the deputy mayor of Shanghai in charge of economy." Huang Yutang then pointed at me, "Mayor Gao, this is the owner of that diamond, Dugu Wuji. ”

"Hello." "Hello." The two sides shook hands politely.

"Let's talk while we eat." Huang Yutang said, "Brother, I'm sorry, because the auction has too much impact, Gao Ming is also my friend for many years, so I have to tell him, I hope you will forgive me." ”

I just wanted to speak, Mayor Gao spoke: "Brother Dugu, this matter has attracted the attention of our secretary, he has full authority to send me as a representative to receive you, the matter of diamonds has been reported to the central government, when the auction begins, not only the central government will come, but also the rich people from all over the world will come, and the city will be very lively at that time." ”

"It looks like we're going to trouble Mayor Gao." I smiled.

"Brother Dugu, what are your plans after this auction?" Mayor Gao said. Since he is in charge of the economy, of course he will not let go of such a large amount of money, and it would be better if he could stay in Shanghai to play a role, because it was the first time they met, so the tone was tactful.

I listened to it and smiled faintly, the plan is to invest in the coastal construction of a factory, and now there are leaders to pull the strings, so I will not avoid it, and directly put forward the plan: "Mayor Gao, I plan to invest in a seawater desalination plant in Shanghai, I don't know what preferential policies there are?" ”

"Desalination plants? There are quite a few in China, and developed countries are more advanced than us, but the scale is not large. ”

"I have investigated this, the cost of seawater desalination at home and abroad is five yuan per ton, the technology has just started, and our technology has reached about one yuan per ton, completely lower than the cost of the current Shanghai water plant, at the same time, we can generate electricity in the process of seawater desalination, a plant can supply 10 million tons of desalinated seawater per day, and the power supplied can meet half of the supply of Shanghai every day, which will greatly alleviate the situation of power supply in Shanghai, and the quality of desalinated water far exceeds the current Shanghai tap water, Purified water standards. I took a sip of water and continued, "In the desalination process, in addition to the commonly used salt, there is also potash, which is currently the most scarce in China, and the production volume of this plant can reach 5 to 10 percent of the current total imports." Finally, if desired, the heavy water needed in the nuclear industry can be refined. ”

Mayor Gao and Huang Yutang were a little stunned after hearing this, although technically they didn't understand, but the minimum business knowledge made them feel that there were too many business opportunities here.

"This project is too attractive, we have to have a meeting to discuss it, and give you an answer as soon as possible, in a sense, this factory is more attractive than diamonds, it is related to the lives of more than 10 million Shanghai people." Mayor Gao said.

The lunch ended in a pleasant atmosphere, Mayor Gao agreed to reply to me within three working days, and the two sides broke up after leaving their contact numbers.
