115 New York
After hearing that Liang En said that he was going to leave on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, his parents were naturally a little reluctant, but after learning about the work he was going to do, they still let him go, after all, they knew that the child had grown up and had his own things to do.
Bidding farewell to his reluctant parents, Liang En took a plane to the capital as planned, and then changed planes to New York, the largest city on the East Coast of the United States.
New York, the largest city in the United States and the city with the highest GDP in the world, is the economic, financial, commercial, trade, cultural and media center of the United States and even the world, and one of the three major financial centers in the world.
As the plane descended slowly, Liang could see the high-rise buildings built in the core of Manhattan Island and the entire surrounding city, as well as the Central Park, which occupies a large area.
After leaving JFK International Airport, a driver holding a Chinese sign with Liang's name and flight number was waiting for him, so he followed the driver into a Maybach car parked in the parking lot.
Soon, the car started and went straight to a top home near Central Park, where most of the wealthy people lived in the area.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Leung." After the car stopped, a neatly dressed waiter opened the door for Liang En, and after getting out of the car, a middle-aged man with meticulous body made a gesture of invitation to Liang En, and said in Mandarin.
"I'm glad to accept your invitation." Liang En nodded slightly at what looked like a high-ranking attendant, and then followed him into the top-notch apartment.
However, Liang En and the others did not go to the most luxurious suite on the top floor of the house, but went to another small room downstairs, and as the door opened, an old man dressed in traditional Arabic clothes greeted him.
After quickly recalling the photos on Ahmadi's list of Emirati male dignitaries that he had handed over to him, Liang confirmed that the other person should not be his real client, but judging from the other party's clothing, he was probably the butler of a client's house.
In fact, the other party is indeed a tribal chief in the UAE, or the butler of the royal family, who purchased jewelry from Liang En on behalf of the royal family this time.
Since Liang En's Arabic is no less than his native speaker, they started talking directly in Arabic in addition to the initial greeting in Chinese.
This is not simply out of respect for the customer, but because it is best to use a language that both parties are familiar with when dealing with this situation of bespoke jewelry to ensure that both parties can communicate the issues accurately.
After all, it is easy to miss the slightest mistake in art design in many cases, and in this case, it is easy to have serious problems due to some language errors.
According to the butler, he now needs to make a batch of jewelry for the royal women, but compared to ordinary jewelry, he wants this batch of jewelry to have an Arabic style, and at the same time meet certain royal etiquette requirements.
In other words, this batch of jewelry is not only a private jewelry, but also a part of the royal women's dress, so it is naturally more restricted than ordinary jewelry.
After talking about the initial requirements, the housekeeper began to talk about the detailed requirements, and at the same time, he naturally asked Liang En if he had any samples in this regard that he could see.
He had seen Liang's award-winning works before, and had received strong recommendations from Ahmed, but the butler still wanted to see more works to judge Liang's craftsmanship.
After listening to the other party's request, Liang En thought briefly for a moment, then made a phone call to Ahmadi and obtained permission from the other party, and then he asked him to bring his luggage over, and took out a gorgeous small gold handbag from it.
The gold handbag is very beautiful, using many traditional Chinese metalworking techniques, but in a traditional Arabic style, with gemstones, pearls and gemstone coral.
"Very well, Mr. Leung, I'm sure you'll be able to make the jewels we want." After carefully examining the small gold handbag that Liang En had taken out, the butler nodded with satisfaction.
He had been worried about being a before
Liang En, a true Chinese, may not be able to understand the Arabic culture and design something nondescript, but this handbag is enough to put him at least half of his heart at ease.
For these local tyrants, there is a very important reason why Liang En was chosen to complete this business, that is, as a newcomer, he should be willing to spend more energy to adjust his works according to the customer's requirements.
As the richest royal family in the world, it is not difficult for these princes from the UAE to find masters and create their own jewelry, but the problem is that the masters who have been famous for a long time all have their own styles, and the things they make are always different from what they think.
So after suffering a few dark losses, the princes realized it, and found Liang En in this business to see if they could find a jewelry maker who really met their wishes.
At first glance, Liang En was more in line with their requirements, at least in the eyes of the butler, who had seen countless jewels, the gold handbag made by Liang En was completely in line with Arab culture, and if he didn't know it beforehand, he would have thought that it was made by an Arab maker.
However, the butler was not completely satisfied with the gold handbag in front of him, for example, he thought that the pearls and gemstone coral on this handbag were very good, but the texture of the other gemstones was really very ordinary.
If it weren't for Liang En's clever use of carved gemstones to avoid most of the jewelry quality problems, the jewelry set in the handbag could even be called a failure.
"I'm sorry, but these gems aren't very good." Liang En smiled a little embarrassedly, after all, he has been engaged in the jewelry making industry for a short time, and the channels for obtaining various raw materials and jewelry are almost zero, so naturally he can't get high-quality gemstones.
"Of course, of course, it's really not your problem, Mr. Liang." The butler immediately said, "All the gems except pearls and coral that came out of this entrusted mission are provided by us, and we ensure that each gem is of high quality."
Liang spent the rest of the day discussing the jewelry, and eventually, the butler ordered three sets of jewelry and seventeen individual pieces of jewelry from Liang on behalf of the royal family for delivery by the end of the year.
As for the remuneration, because it is this group of local tyrants who provide the most expensive part of the gems, the remuneration for the whole business is 1.17 million euros after tax, which is definitely a high price for a newcomer.
What's more, this group of local tyrants ordering jewelry will be an important weather vane, which directly raises Liang En's worth a lot, which can be regarded as allowing Liang En to open the door to the rich.
As a high-end jewelry artisan, the customers are these really wealthy people, so a ticket like this one can obviously affect Liang En's future development path.
"-Okay, then I'll take the business." After asking the lawyer to read and sign the contract, Liang En shook hands with the housekeeper who also stood up, and then made a guarantee.
"I promise that your commission will be completed on time and in good quality."
