Chapter 477: Thrilling + Turning Danger into Disaster (2-in-1, Ask for Subscription, Ask for Monthly Pass)
Lunch eaten at the company.
Ji Cheng and Master Cheng discussed for most of the day about the spring auction next year.
"The company should separate the auction and antiques, art and other business operations, which is more conducive to the development of the company."
"Well, Master Cheng, do you have any other opinions?"
"Mr. Jiang has some opinions, why don't we listen to him?"
"Mr. Jiang, are you talking to us?"
"Good boss, I think an auction company wants to operate a prosperous business first of all, I have talked a lot with Mr. Cheng recently, I know that the company's previous main business is high-end wood products, if the company's customers are only low-end buyers, it is naturally no problem, but if it is a real sense of want to do auctions for high-end customers, then my opinion is that it is best to change the main product, for example, Sotheby's used to rely on the main book trading business, and now it has become the world's largest auction house......"
Jiang Luming, the vice president of the company recruited before, was very capable and said a lot about the company's development plan.
Ji Cheng sat there and listened carefully, and the more he listened, the more he felt that this Jiang Luming was a rare talent.
In the eighties, he achieved the world's top career in time and space, although with the help of a lot of information collected by modern society, and even products and technology, it can be regarded as open, but since his career is so big, Ji Cheng's vision will not be much worse.
Of course, he could hear that Jiang Luming's proposals were not only orderly, but also very developmental.
"If we want to be a global auction, then the main product must not be just Chinese antiques." Ji Cheng waited until Jiang Luming finished speaking, then slowly said, "Then what kind of thing can be welcomed in global auctions?" ”
When it comes to this issue, many people are silent.
The types of auctions are very varied, if you have to say in general, it is nothing more than art, antiques, jewelry, furniture, clocks, wines, etc., but whether it is art, antiques, furniture, etc., all have geographical limitations, we think that good things people in other countries may not think good, so in fact, there are many small types of division under the large category.
Take art as an example, it is divided into a series of different categories, such as painting, books, calligraphy, sculpture and so on.
But again, no matter how these things are divided, they always have geographical limitations.
So what can break through geographical limitations and become a global favorite?
In fact, there is already an answer in everyone's minds, but it is difficult to say.
Ji Cheng saw that everyone was silent, and took the initiative to say this answer, "Jewelry!" ”
Jiang Luming smiled helplessly, "Boss, it is true that jewelry is one of the main businesses of major auctions around the world, but because the competition is too fierce, basically no auction company will regard jewelry as a real flagship product." ”
Master Cheng also nodded and said, "Indeed, because you can't come up with the best quality and craftsmanship jewelry in every auction, and some jewelry does have certain limitations, such as jadeite, which is only a niche jewelry for many European and American countries." ”
Cheng Hailin is about to go to the beautiful country to serve as the head of the pawn company, and he is naturally qualified to sit at the conference table to listen to the development of the company, but he does not agree with his Lao Tzu's opinion, "That is not the case, the limitations of jewelry are far smaller than other things, such as diamonds, rubies, emeralds, etc., these jewelry, basically any country in the world will be welcomed, I think the boss proposed to make jewelry our company's flagship product This idea is very good, At that time, we only need to spend a lot of money to ask the world's top craftsmen to make it, and then it is bound to be sought after. ”
Wang Qiang, another newly recruited manager of the development department, said: "Everyone understands this truth, the problem is that the top quality jewelry is too difficult to obtain, if there is a large supply of raw materials, in fact, everything is easy to say, but the world's major jewelry resources are either in the hands of governments or large companies, and it is difficult for us to obtain so many resources." ”
Resources?
The most important thing that buddies lacked in time and space in the eighties was these kinds of resources, although those resources were also controlled by others, but they could spend a lot of money, and it was much easier for Ji Cheng to spend a lot of money in that era than in modern society.
"Let's find a way to buy a few small gem mines abroad." Ji Cheng didn't say much.
Jiang Luming was stunned for a moment, "Boss, it shouldn't be useful to buy a few small gem mines, right?" How many gems can a small gem mine develop? ”
Ji Cheng smiled and waved his hand, "Just do what I say." ”
One thing he knew was that the jewelry needed for the auction was of the highest quality, and that the small gem mines were just a cover-up, so that he could have a reasonable source of the top quality gems he had obtained from the eighties.
In addition, if you buy a large gem mine in the 80s, or even develop a country's jewelry, there will inevitably be a lot of low-end gems left.
Ji Cheng thought about it and spoke again, "By the way, I will acquire another jewelry company that is a little famous." ”
"Okay, I've been looking for a good jewelry company lately, and I'm going to see which one is easier to acquire." Jiang Luming said energetically.
"Well, although Mr. Jiang is expanding externally, I will preside over the internal affairs of the company and serve you as logistics." Master Cheng said very clearly, he knew that his ability was far less than Jiang Luming's, and the reason why he was able to be the company's boss was completely because he was the real veteran of the company, and he was favored by the boss Ji Cheng.
This point has not been questioned, since the company is ready to focus on jewelry, it is indeed better to have a jewelry company, and the two can complement each other.
Ji Cheng saw that the discussion was almost over, and it was relatively late, so he took the initiative to end the meeting, "Then I have worked hard for you, let's hold the meeting here today, and Hailin, you get the work visa as soon as possible and go to the beautiful country." ”
"Okay, boss." Cheng Hailin nodded and said.
After finishing the instructions, Ji Cheng stood up and left the conference room first.
When he entered the elevator, he was still thinking about the development of the company.
When I see Shen Xia's mother tomorrow, I should go back to the eighties, and then not only will there be a lot of things to do that the eighties space-time company has piled up, but I will also have to consider acquiring more gem mines.
Well, let's go back and talk about it, let's have dinner with Lin Wanru first.
Ji Cheng came to the parking lot and drove the Ferrari directly to pick up people.
……
After waiting for a while, Lin Wanru came out of work.
Although she is dressed relatively plainly, even jeans with a T-shirt make people shine.
Ji Cheng took the initiative to get out of the car and open the door for her.
The two chatted a few words, and Ji Cheng drove out of the hospital.
The road was a bit congested, and they were stuck at the intersection.
Ji Cheng took the opportunity to communicate with Lin Wanru, "What will you eat later?" ”
Lin Wanru has always been very frugal, and whispered: "It's okay, as long as it's not too expensive." ”
Ji Cheng knew that her family was not very good, even if she was working now, most of the salary would be given to her family, and she might be stressed if she went to a restaurant that was too good, so she followed her advice and said, "Why don't we eat hot pot?" ”
Hot pot is generally not too expensive, Lin Wanru agreed: "Okay." ”
Ji Wei wanted to find a hot pot restaurant in the city to eat casually, but today he didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't find a parking space anywhere, so he had no choice but to discuss with Lin Wanru again to go to a more remote place.
"I remember that there is a Xiaolongkan hot pot restaurant on the road to Xinghu Avenue in my company, which seems to be pretty good, let's go over and eat."
"Okay."
"How's it going to work today?"
"Not too busy."
The two chatted casually along the way.
Ji Cheng was quite interested.
But Lin Wanru was a little absent-minded, and her head kept thinking about what she had said in the department today.
After a period of driving, the two finally came to the hot pot restaurant.
It is about five kilometers away from Ji Cheng's company, and some of the company's non-local employees rent their houses here, and Cheng Hailin doesn't seem to want to live with his father.
Well, it's pretty good to park.
Ji Cheng parked the car, and then entered the hot pot restaurant with Lin Wanru.
"Two?"
"Yes."
"This way, please...... You can sit down, you can scan the QR code and order. ”
Ji Cheng and Lin Wanru sat down facing each other by the window.
As soon as I sat down, information came in.
Ji Cheng clicked on his mobile phone and saw that it was Shen Xia, and immediately looked at Lin Wanru who was ordering food with some emptiness, and saw that the other party didn't find anything, so he clicked on the message to watch.
Shen Xia: I'm in Haitong, what are you doing?
Ji Cheng can't say that he is having dinner with other women, right? I made up a message back: in the company.
Source change app】
Shen Xia sent a question mark emoji: Saturday, so late in the company?
Of course, Ji Cheng has to say that he is in the company, otherwise he has to say that he wants to see himself in Haitong Shenxia: Isn't this the company just starting, I always have to work hard as a boss.
Shen Xia: Oh, watching a movie together at night?
Ji Cheng calculated that it was too late: Okay.
After reading the message, Shen Xia did not reply immediately.
Ji Cheng began to think about it, it should be too late to rush back to Haitong by himself, last time he slept with Shen Xia with a dead face, although nothing really happened, but he still did something, if he went to the movies with Shen Xia after eating later, would he be able to take the opportunity to eat the other party again?
Thinking of this, Ji Cheng sent another message back with bad intentions: But it's too late to watch the movie, your mother is here again, what if you can't go back?
Well, he meant to let Shen Xia live by himself at night.
Shen Xia quickly replied to the message: Yes.
Ji Cheng was ecstatic in his heart and felt that he had a chance.
What I didn't expect was that Shen Xia's next message came in again: That's not going.
Ji Cheng: ???
Nima!
Are you kidding me?
His face was so dark that he didn't want to reply to the message, forget it, it was estimated that Shen Xia's mother was inconvenient here.
Ji Cheng comforted himself, then put down his phone and looked at Lin Wanru, "Is it ordered?" ”
"Well, I'll order it, you can take a look." Lin Wanru handed over her mobile phone, and said with concern in her mouth, "Are you so busy every day?" It's too hard to eat and work. ”
Ji Cheng definitely couldn't say that he was sending a message to Shen Xia, and said with a smile while ordering: "Isn't this in business, there's no way, you have to work hard." ”
"Then you have to combine work and rest, don't exhaust yourself." Lin Wanru said very gently.
I have to say that compared with Shen Xia, Lin Wanru is more concerned about people.
Gentle, good-looking and beautiful, Ji Cheng had to sigh, if he hadn't met Shen Xia first, maybe he would have pursued Lin Wanru with all his might, but now that his relationship with Shen Xia is developing very well, I really don't know if he should continue to develop like this with Lin Wanru.
Let's take one step at a time.
Ji Cheng is amazingly bold in business, but he is a little hesitant in terms of feelings, no way, who made him really fall in love with not much.
After a while, the dishes came up one by one.
The two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere gradually became hot.
But just halfway through eating, an accident happened!
Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Shen Xia suddenly played the video!
Ji Cheng was startled, he didn't dare to answer, and pressed it to mute.
Lin Wanru didn't care, but asked with concern: "It's someone from the company looking for you again?" ”
Ji Cheng pretended to be calm, "Well, the general manager's son, he is about to go to the beautiful country, and he has to ask me a lot of things." ”
"Why don't you call him back?" Lin Wanru was very considerate.
How dare Ji Cheng reply in front of her, "It's okay, I'll talk about it later." ”
Lin Wanru urged: "You find a quiet place to call back, it's not good to be in a hurry." ”
"Okay, I'll go to the bathroom and call back." Ji Cheng stood up with his mobile phone.
Lin Wanru smiled sweetly, "Okay." She also said a rare playful sentence, "You can rest assured to call back, I won't steal food, wait for you." ”
Ji Cheng was amused by her, "It's okay if you eat first, okay, I'll be back soon." ”
As he spoke, he looked at his phone again, Shen Xia's video had been hung, and at the same time a questioning message came in: Where are you?
it!
Something is wrong!
Ji Cheng had a sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, in the next second, Shen Xia sent another angry message: Ji Cheng, you disappointed me so much, eating hot pot with other women didn't pick up my video, right?
Nima!
Aren't you in Haitong? How do you know that Lin Wanru and I are eating hot pot?
Ji Cheng was already sweating profusely when he saw Shen Xia's "self-confession", but he was still holding on, and he didn't dare to reply to the message now.
Just approached the bathroom.
Shen Xia sent another message in: My friends have seen your car, and I also saw you and a woman sitting at the window eating hot pot, I thought you two were ordinary friends, play a video to care, but you don't dare to answer?
What?
Did your friend see me?
Ji Cheng, who had nothing to do, suddenly had an idea.
He quickly locked the bathroom door, then turned on the system to teleport, and found that it was within the teleportation range of his company.
Ji Cheng immediately used the teleportation to return to his office, and then quickly picked up the landline to call Cheng Hailin, and replied with a thoughtful message: Did your friend take a picture of you?
Shen Xia seemed to hesitate for a moment, and did not reply to the message immediately.
It just so happened that the phone was connected at this time, and Ji Cheng didn't give Cheng Hailin a chance to speak, and immediately said: "Hailin, you rush to Xiaolongkan hot pot restaurant now and wait for me at the door." ”
Cheng Hailin said: "Okay." ”
Hung up the phone, Shen Xia's message came in, and her tone was a little weak: I took a photo of your car, and as soon as I saw that it was your license plate number, I asked her to go inside to see if there was anyone who looked similar to you.
The next moment, her message came in again, and her attitude was a little tough: If it's not you, why don't you take the video?
Oh!
Didn't catch me?
Ji Cheng was completely relieved, and then replied: Didn't I just tell you that I was busy in the company, I will go to the warehouse to check when you send a video, there is no signal over there, I don't believe you will send a video now.
Shen Xia didn't say a word and sent a video over.
Ji Fei wanted to pick it up, but when he thought that Shen Xia's friend saw him, he quickly took off his coat, and then he connected it.
I saw Shen Xia's beautiful and delicate face appear on the other end of the video.
Ji Cheng smiled and said, "You see if I'm in the office." ”
Shen Xia was dizzy, "Hey, are you really in the office?" ”
"I told you I didn't believe it." Ji Cheng pursed his lips and deliberately pretended to be very angry: "How do you still suspect me?" ”
Shen Xia naturally knew that Xiaolongkan was three or five kilometers away from Ji Cheng's company, her friend only told her three minutes ago, unless Ji Cheng was a superman, it was impossible to run back to the company from Xiaolongkan in three minutes, she knew that she was at a loss, with a sneering expression on her face, and took the initiative to apologize: "I'm sorry, I wronged you." ”
"Hmph, it's good to be wronged?" Ji Cheng was unforgiving: "It's a shame that I didn't stay in the warehouse for long, if I really stay for a long time, I won't be wronged?" You say, how can you compensate me? ”
Shen Xia was really apologetic, "I'...... I ......"
Ji Cheng's eyes rolled, "Why don't you go back after we finish watching the movie?" ”
Shen Xia understood what he meant as soon as she heard it, her face turned red all of a sudden, she looked inside, and then whispered: "My mother is here, wait for her to return to the capital, okay?" ”
Yes?
Is there really a play?
Ji Cheng was willing to let her reluctantly, and took the initiative to make a promise: "Do you mean that as long as your mother goes back, everything depends on me?" ”
Shen Xia's face became more and more red, and her tone was very entangled: "Don't you force me, okay?" ”
Ji Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "You still wronged me." ”
Shen Xia was at a loss, so she had no choice but to say, "Do I want to think about it?" ”
"No, unless you promise me." Ji Cheng first toughened up, and then showed a pitiful expression, "We've been in love for so long, I've even seen your father, and I'm going to see your mother when I go back, I've seen my parents, do you really have to wait until you get married to give it to me?" ”
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you." Shen Xia said helplessly: "I can promise you, but there is a small condition. ”
it!
Did you really promise me?
Ji Cheng had wanted to eat Shen Xia for a long time, and couldn't wait to ask, "What conditions?" Just say. ”
"We'll see you tomorrow." Shen Xia seemed to be delaying the army.
Now that the mouth has been relaxed, it is no longer important whether the plan to delay the army is or not.
Ji Cheng knew that he was about to eat Shen Xia, and he was overjoyed in his heart.
……
Use the promise to teleport back to the restaurant toilet.
After Ji Cheng came out, he said hello to Lin Wanru, then ran to the door of the restaurant to let Cheng Hailin put on his coat, and gave the Ferrari key to the other party, asking him to send Lin Wanru back later.
Well, the main Shen Xia friend may not have gone far in the vicinity, and Ji Cheng always has to be cautious.
After returning to the restaurant and eating for a while, Ji Cheng took the initiative to propose to end the meal, and then made an excuse to say that he had something to do first, and said that he would ask Cheng Hailin to help drive Lin Wanru back.
Lin Wanru was embarrassed to trouble others, and excused herself and said that she would take a taxi by herself.
However, Ji Cheng was relieved that she would go back alone, so he asked Cheng Hailin to send it, and when they were separated, he also specially told Cheng Hailin to take a photo of Lin Wanru driving and send it to his circle of friends later.
After doing all this, Ji Cheng called Zheng Jian to pick him up.
He was sending messages to Shen Xia all the way: I'm back to Haitong, will I come out to watch a movie later?
Shen Xia: Didn't I tell you just now, my mother is inconvenient to go out, why don't you come to my house to sit down?
Ji Cheng really wanted to know what Shen Xia's mother was looking for him, so he thought about it and replied: Okay, it should be there in an hour.
End the chat.
Ji thought that he could rush back to Haitong in an hour, but something went wrong on the road, and he encountered someone in a car accident at a T-junction and was blocked there.
This block is nearly forty minutes.
Shen Xia's message came in again: It's been more than an hour, haven't you returned to Haitong yet?
Ji replied competently: There was a car accident.
But then he thought of Shen Xia teasing himself to watch the movie just now, and blinked his eyes and said again: It's miserable, my hands and feet are broken, I guess ......
Shen Xia was frightened: Where are you? I've gone to you, and I'm begging you to be all right.
She also posted a tearful emoji.
Ji Cheng burst out laughing, and then didn't dare to let her really worry too much: I'm fine, what can I do, just watch the fun.
Shen Xia sent a sixty-second voice message: "...... aa! @#!! ”
Well, she was so angry with herself that she lost her mind.
