Chapter 309: Finding a Way to Earn Foreign Currency (Asking for Subscription)
Zou Die's personality is relatively atmospheric, but she is naturally charming and particularly feminine, she is often called a fox, and her voice is also a little shy.
As soon as the phone was connected, this sentence made Li Shi, who was originally mentally prepared, stunned for a second.
The scene that I had painted for her flashed back to my mind.
I thought, no wonder Brother Lu Congwei was stunned by his daughter-in-law, such a woman, who is not confused.
Li Shi pretended to be a little wry and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you call me brother-in-law, with such a good relationship between me and viagra, the first time you speak, I will definitely give you face." β
"In this way, as long as the price is not appropriate, the goods of this stone, whether you buy it out, or take it to sell, or other operations, there is no problem, sister-in-law, you start a business, I will definitely show my support."
Li Shi's words are good, and he does intend to make a part of the profits on the premise of not suffering losses, in addition to strengthening the cooperative relationship with the two of them, but also to further develop shipping channels for himself.
Only when there are more channels, he can ship calmly in the future, and when he wants to ship more goods, he can ship more goods at any time.
It can also be regarded as a disguised upfront investment.
At present, the situation of the jadeite market is very complicated, the situation on the sales side is complicated, the situation on the supply side is also complicated, and there are polarization in both directions.
But these are not important to Li Shi, because the jadeite he sells is the best of the best, and it has always been a seller's market.
"Okay." Zou Die, who was on the other side of the conversation, saw him say this, and immediately responded happily, and hurriedly advised: "Don't show your baby to others, I'll go to you with Lao Lu tomorrow, and don't tell others again before we finish talking." β
Li Shi knew that she was actually referring to Chen Yao, thinking that Chen Yao and Lu Congwei had such a good relationship with the opposite sex, he smiled secretly, and asked in surprise: "That's for sure, but why is it so urgent?" β
Zou Die explained: "My Jade Club store is preparing to start a trial opening on June 30, although I have prepared some goods, but I strive to be an instant hit, and the more top-notch goods in the town store as much as possible." β
"It seems that sister-in-law, you are quite ambitious."
Zou Die did not deny it, and even admitted: "I really like to make my career bigger, because my attitude towards my career is - either don't do it, or try to do the best if you want to do it." β
Li Shi said with a smile: "This is the attitude of really doing business, it seems that I may have to eat after my sister-in-law's ass in the future." β
"Go, you're a big guy in the industry, why are you joking about me as a newcomer to the industry."
The two reached a preliminary verbal agreement, were in a good mood, and made a few jokes.
Before hanging up the phone, Li Shi finally said: "It's just right, viagra has said many times in the past that he wants to come to Tanzhou to play with me, this time he finally came, after the ticket was bought, send me the flight information, and I will pick you up at the airport when the time comes." β
Hanging up the phone, Li Shi sighed that in modern society, women's dedication is really strong, and there are more and more strong women.
It didn't take long for Lu Congwei to send the couple's ticket and flight information.
Take a plane from Ruili's nearest Dehong Mangshi Airport, transfer to Kunshi, and then fly to Tanzhou Huanghua Airport. Depart at 10:30 a.m. and arrive at 3:15 p.m. if not late.
Li Shi first called the assistant Zhang Huijing and told her to book hotels and restaurants.
This kind of reception task, for the current Zhang Huijing, is familiar with the door and should be done.
Putting away his mobile phone, Li Shi, who was originally in Phoenix Bay, went downstairs with the car keys and drove to the activity base again.
The activity base was originally a school built on the mountain, but now it is deserted and extremely quiet, and it will make people feel eerie when they come in during the day, let alone at night.
Li Shi arrived, but he was not afraid at all - in fact, before he got the study panel, he was not so bold, when he was a child, in the village, when he crossed the tomb mountain, or went out at night, he would be a little afraid of ghosts, but now he is not afraid at all.
This special experience has made him understand the nature of the world better than anyone else.
After entering the activity base, I turned on the lights, came to the jade processing classroom, opened the safe, and took out a stone from the public market in Jieyang last time.
This stone cost him more than 200,000 yuan, the size is about the size of a football, from the skin point of view, the performance is very good in all aspects, the flashlight is in, very transparent.
The performance of the stone, when I bought it, I had seen it many times, and the line was drawn on it, but before cutting, Li Shi still used a strong flashlight to look at it again, and then found the position to be cut, fixed it on the stone cutter, closed the lid of the stone cutter, turned on the electricity, and pressed the switch.
There was an immediate noise coming from inside the machine.
"When it's true, it's true and false, no matter how this stone is cut, the piece I exchanged for wealth attribute points should be cut out of this rough stone. Well, I said yes, no, no! β
Waiting for the stone to be cut, Li Shi pouted, the jade meat in the middle of the stone is very good, the best quality, at least there is a high degree of ice, and a little bit of green, but there are too many cracks, a bit of "emperor crack" meaning, not to mention the bracelet, it is very difficult to produce four or six cards.
The value suddenly plummeted.
It is difficult for immortals to break an inch of jade, nothing more than this.
Li Shi thought of the half-palm-sized ice wave full green stone in the Phoenix Bay study, and an indifferent smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Fortunately, I am the 'creator' who can exchange wealth attribute points for matter at any time!" β
One night, he cut up all the good stones that had been stored in the safe.
Then pick out the ones that have some value and lock them in another safe.
He didn't plan to sell these stones, which were at least glutinous ice, but kept them for now, and maybe they could be used in the future, whether they were used to practice carvers or to do jadeite retail.
"Although this cabinet is not too good, but it is worth a million yuan, although the activity base has a gate, a classroom security door and a large safe triple insurance, but still add a warehouse remote monitoring system."
This night, in addition to cutting stones, Li Shi is to read ancient calligraphy theoretical works, when he came out of the activity base in the morning, the sky was already bright, he looked at the time, more than 7:50.
drove to the city and ate a bowl of fish meal at a fishmeal shop on the street.
When I got home, I took a shower, and when the time passed half past eight, I took my mobile phone and called Zhang Hui again, instructing her to find someone to install remote monitoring for the activity base after a while.
"The focus is on the wall, just keep an eye on whether anyone enters the activity base, and there is no need to install monitoring inside the base."
β¦β¦
After sleeping for three hours and waking up at half past eleven, Li Shi was refreshed and did not feel any tiredness or discomfort at all because of staying up late.
Look at the information on your phone first.
Lu Congwei sent a message an hour ago, and their flight to Kuncheng took off on time, but the flight from Kuncheng to Tanzhou was unexpectedly delayed.
"It's more than an hour late, but it's just in time for dinner."
Li Shi called and relayed the news to his assistant Zhang Huijing first: "So you can arrange dinner directly, and we will pick up people in the evening and go directly to the restaurant for dinner." β
At noon, I dealt with it casually, and then went into the study to make a post.
An hour later, I came out of the study, sat on the couch, and continued to think about making money.
"Let's take a look at the market of the major auctions in the last two months."
Every once in a while, looking at the transactions of major auctions is also Li Shi's habit now.
He first scanned the domestic ones, and then set his sights abroad.
"On 12 May, Sotheby's Geneva Spring Auction concluded with 133 lots that achieved $96 million, with a highlight being an 11.16ct pear-shaped Fancy Vivid Blue diamond ring in Fancy Vivid Blue and VS1 clarity, which sold for CHF 22,625,000."
How much is it?
Li Shi switched to the exchange rate converter query, and when he saw the results, he couldn't help but reach out and touch his chin.
According to today's exchange rate: 22.625 million Swiss francs = 186.952 million yuan = 25.826 million US dollars!
"11.16 carats is 2.232 grams! Redeem only 0.002232 Wealth Attribute Points! β
He was so moved by this news.
"It's a pity, diamonds are not easy to sell, even if they are large colored diamonds."
Li Shi continued to look down, and the second highest price ever sold in the auction was a diamond, a 21.94ct pink diamond, Fancy Intense Pink and VVS2 clarity, which sold for CHF 10.38 million.
"21.94 carats is 4.388 grams, which is a lot less pure, but still more than 10 million Swiss francs!"
Li Shi saw the above data, especially in US dollars and Swiss francs, and he pondered that in the future, he would also go abroad to play and study, and he would have to find a way to earn some foreign exchange.
"Diamonds, diamonds."
Li Shi pondered for a moment, took his mobile phone and began to check the information on all aspects of the diamond.
With the rise of artificial diamonds, and the entire world's economy is almost in a downturn, it is a fact that the global diamond market has also been declining.
However, large carats of colored diamonds are still a popular luxury item at auction, especially in Japan and South Korea, Europe and Berry Country, which are very popular. β
When he searched for information about diamonds, he saw that many netizens on the Internet said that diamonds were scams, and these auctions were just one of the ways they laundered their money.
"There may be this kind of behavior, but most auctions are certainly not like this, at least the few auctions I have participated in are more real."
Li Shi pondered for a moment.
"It's not wrong to say that diamonds are scams, it's bound to love, itself is a scam, whether two people want to love or not, what does it have to do with a stone, if you don't love it, it's useless to send more heart-shaped stones."
"In addition, small diamonds, or broken diamonds, really have no recycling value after they are bought."
"However, natural large diamonds, or relatively large colored diamonds, are still high-value, and those rich people who like gemstones will rush to bid."
After searching for a circle of information and materials, Li Shi thought to himself, regardless of whether it is a scam or not, if I can exchange more foreign exchange for me with the least wealth attribute points, why not do it for me?
However, the key problem is that the diamonds we exchange for wealth attribute points have no source of origin and no appraisal certificate - it may be difficult to sell.
Li Shi pondered for a moment, found Zhou Yajuan's number, and called: "Manager Zhou, let me ask you a question, where did you find the diamonds you auctioned off in the past?" β
In any case, all parties will inquire about the news first.
Zhou Yajuan has been dealing with Li Shi for so long, and when she heard him ask, her heart suddenly moved, and she thought, could it be ...... "We have a dedicated treasure hunt specialist in our jewellery department, who are junior and senior, and they look for lots all over the world, including diamonds," she explains. β
She added that "in recent years, colored diamonds have been particularly popular in Asia, and in the eyes of many buyers, natural colored diamonds have great room for appreciation...... Mr. Li, if you inquire about diamonds, do you want to sell diamonds? β
Her tone was expectant.
As soon as Mr. Li made a move, it was a good thing that could make his performance soar.
Li Shi smiled and said: "It's not me, it's a friend of mine who has a diamond in his hand and is considering making a move, but he hasn't thought about it yet, by the way, his appraisal certificate or something has been dropped, does this matter?" β
Zhou Yajuan: "Then you need to re-submit it for inspection first." β
β¦β¦
Li Shi: "Well, thank you, if my friend thinks about sending the photo, I'll contact you again." β
After chatting with Zhou Yajuan for a long time, Li Shi hung up the phone and summarized what she meant: as long as the thing is true and the thing is good, the colored diamonds without a certificate can also be re-submitted for inspection and made a certificate, and then let the experts make up stories for auction.
"You can try, but be conservative for now."
Diamonds are different from jadeite, jadeite has been circulating in China for hundreds of years, especially in the past, many businessmen who need to make connections like to purchase antiques and jadeite, Hetian jade to give gifts...... In addition, you can also create the identity of a jadeite merchant by purchasing rough stones to further conceal the source, and it is not a problem to sell some every once in a while.
"Think about it again and see if there are any other ways to make foreign money."
Li Shi put aside the matter of diamonds for the time being, thinking that he would receive guests at night, so he started his daily task in advance - to continue to post.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, he and his assistant Zhang Huijing drove to the airport and picked up Lu Congwei and Zou Die.
Greet each other first, and then take Li Shi's Bentley directly to the Hunan restaurant to eat.
The couple couldn't eat too spicy, so Zhang Huijing deliberately told the chef to put less chili peppers, but even if it was "slightly spicy", it still made them see the "enthusiasm" of Hunan cuisine.
After eating, Li Shi took them to the hotel to settle down first.
As soon as he walked into the booking lobby, the mobile phone in Li Shi's pocket rang a prompt tone, and when he picked it up, the message was sent by a person who surprised him a little: "Mr. Li, I just saw a person who looks like you at the door of the Intercontinental Hotel in Beichen, can't it be you?"
