Chapter 40: Lu Fan's Special Hobby
Could it be that the other party doesn't want to reconcile with him?
"Green, green again. Damn, there's such a big piece of goodstuff hidden in this material. Even if the quality is slightly worse, it is worth at least eight or nine million. But just when Wang Kai's face was gloomy and cranky, an exclamation directly interrupted his thoughts.
What's wrong.
It's green again.
Even a mature and stable boss like Wang Kai was completely stunned at this moment.
There has always been a saying in the world called "one sword is born, one sword is killed" In the past, businessmen once lost all their money with one blow, but now, Lu Fan has a typical one-hit surge. He spent 300,000 to buy more than 10 million, which was a blockbuster. It can be called an industry myth.
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, please forgive me for my previous speculation. Our Gold Jewellery bid £12 million for this material. Think about it. ”
Just when many jewelers present were still hesitating how to quote, Wang Kai took the lead and quoted a sky-high price of 12 million. Leave everyone speechless.
To be honest, although this piece of material is indeed of the highest quality, the price of 12 million is almost at the top, and there is no room and amplitude for them to bid at all. Obviously, Jin Zun Jewelry is determined to get this top quality product.
But when Lu Fan heard this, he didn't hesitate much. He turned directly to Hua Tou, who was standing next to him, was stunned, and asked, "Hey, your store should also accept this kind of jadeite." You want. ”
As soon as Lu Fan's words fell, Concubine Gu Shang in his arms and Ye Zilin, who was standing next to Hua Tou, were stunned. Because they have long heard clearly, Huazhinan only has 10 million, and this piece of jade is worth at least 12 million.
"Yes, of course."
Hua Tou finally came back to his senses at this time, grabbed Lu Fan excitedly and said, "I will call my father immediately and ask him to send me more money." Rest assured, I won't let you lose money on price. ”
"Master, I'm afraid I don't have much liquidity on hand." At this time, Master Zhou on the side suddenly lowered his voice and said anxiously.
As the chief appraiser of Jinnan Jewelry, he could see at a glance that this huge piece of fine art could be brought back for processing, which was at least enough to create a value of nearly 20 million. Therefore, the price of 12 million is certainly not high.
But it's also clear that the store is now undergoing a transition from green to yellow. Branches in several major cities in Jiangnan province reported that although there were no losses, there were also clear signs of danger, resulting in a lack of liquidity. Therefore, Hua Zhinan's money on hand is actually nine-tenths of the store's working capital. If he wanted to take out more in a short period of time, it might not be possible.
When Hua Tou heard this, his excitement disappeared all at once. He recalled the situation in his store and looked embarrassed: "Da Fei, I ......"
"Well, anyway, I picked up this stone for nothing, and besides, you only have 10 million in your hand. I think it's almost there. But as soon as Lu Fan heard this, he waved his hand, took the piece of jade from the stone dissolving machine, threw it directly to Hua Tou, and reached out to ask for it with a smile.
In fact, for him, this piece of jade was indeed picked up for free. There is not much difference between 10 million and 12 million. Besides, they are all his brothers anyway, so why bother so much.
"But if you sell this piece of material, it's worth at least one or two million more. I can't take advantage of you. But the more Lu Fan acted like this, the more he couldn't slip the hurdle in his heart, and he shook his head resolutely.
"Why are you so stubborn, if you don't have money now, even if you sell something to me, it won't be finished. It won't be a day or two. Lu Fan saw that Hua Tou was so stubborn that he couldn't speak.
"But ......"
The slippery guy was a little hesitant when he heard this, but Wang Kai's voice sounded in his ears: "This little brother, why don't you do this." I am willing to spend 2 million to buy this piece of jade with you, but on the condition that our Jinzun jewelry will get one-seventh of the finished product, and we will let our Jinzun jewelry engraver do the work. Substantial. ”
"Mr. Wang, are you sure? Hua Tou was stunned when he heard this. Before he could speak, Master Zhou, who was standing next to him, spoke excitedly.
With an investment of 2 million, only one-seventh of the finished product comes from this piece of material, and the royal engraver who can also borrow Jinzun jewelry, no matter what others think, this is all free money, pie in the sky.
After all, the reputation of "the No. 1 jewelry chain company in Jiangnan Province" is not to be bragged at. Their royal engravers are much better than those of small businesses like Kim Nam Jewelry.
"What do you say?"
Hua Tou also looked very excited when he heard this, but he didn't forget to ask Lu Fan what he meant. Because the other party's actions were obviously to give Lu Fan face. Because of this, he couldn't make his own decisions for Lu Fan.
"Of course I'm not against it, and I'm not stupid. Thank you so much, Mr. Wang. Lu Fan turned his head and said with a smile.
He somewhat understood the other party's intentions, and since they weren't trying to trouble him, it didn't matter. And if it's a free one, what's not to be satisfied with.
"Then it's decided. Mr. Wang, I will come to you in person tomorrow to discuss cooperation. Hua Tou said excitedly.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you tomorrow. Mr. Lu, since this is the case, I won't bother you to enjoy it, so I will leave first. Wang Kai said with a smile, turned around and left directly. It is quite good at doing things.
"Oh, by the way, when it's ready, remember to give one each to Teacher Ye and Teacher Gu, and the fee will be deducted from me." Lu Fan seemed to think of something again at this time and said.
"You really want to give it to us, Phineas, you're so kind, long live Phineas. Fei Shuang, go and thank Fei Ge. Ye Zilin heard that she also had a share in this good thing, and immediately smiled like a flower with her pretty face, and reluctantly instigated Gu Feishang, who was holding Lu Fan's arm, to apologize to her.
She's obviously self-aware. If it weren't for Hua Shao and Gu Feishuang saving her face tonight, such a good thing wouldn't have happened to her.
"Hey, I didn't expect your stupid brain to finally wake up. Yes, yes, children can be taught. Zilin's credit belongs to me, and Gu Daxing's credit belongs to you. I don't dare to take credit, or someone will hate me to death. Miss Gu, you can say it. Looking back, I was also in good spirits at this moment. He sang with his female companion and teased Gu Feishang.
"Ah, what nonsense are you talking about?"
When Gu Feishang heard this, he was naturally angry, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he stretched out his hand and pretended to hit her, but in fact, his heart was still pounding, and he didn't understand what Lu Fan meant by suddenly giving her such a big gift. Could it be...?
"Brother Fei, thank you."
However, she still did not refuse. Instead, she mustered up her courage and launched a surprise attack. She stood on tiptoe and came to Lu Fan's side to drink a little water. Then, at once, in confusion, she buried her pretty face in her high, round body, and counted how many small lamps there were on the tiles on the floor. went.
And this sudden attack came from Xing Gu, as the warm lips fell on Lu Fan's face like a dragonfly, the refreshing fragrance, and the delicate and sexy body also stuck to his body without hesitation...... Lu Fan's originally playful and smiling expression froze suddenly, and his face instantly turned red like a monkey.
He really didn't expect that a small object would cause Gu Feishou to act like this, and he didn't even give him the slightest time to react. It's so sexy.
"Yes."
"That's right."
As soon as I looked back at the game, I booed in a strange way. Even Ye Zilin thought it was fun and joined in. Lu Fan and Gu Fei, who were boosing, both blushed like a big cat, extremely embarrassed.
If you want to think about when Lu Fan's slender head has experienced such a battle, except for the old aunt who looks like Zhu Die, others either look down on him, or he looks down on others.
In short, the 'sneak attack' of such a film and television star is really unprecedented for him. Words like excitement and embarrassment may not be able to express his mood at the moment... Hey, it's really hot.
As for Gu Feishang, not to mention. Although she has stepped into the dirty circle of the entertainment industry, she has always been clean and self-conscious, and she does not associate with others to this day.
So even though she has climbed into Wasu Media's long legs in the industry, more than a year has passed, and she is only a third-rate star at best. This is, of course, very problematic, and here's why.
In fact, even she didn't understand why she did that just now. Was it because of impulsiveness that Lu Fan promised to give her the pendant, or because Lu Fan mentioned in front of Mr. Liu that he wanted to take special care of her. She didn't even know it, but she did it anyway.
"Alright, stop arguing. Do you want to take a look around and have such a good start today, I won't do it a second time. Lu Fan did not hesitate to calm down the gossip energy of Huatou, and then everyone's mood began to improve again, laughing and gambling.
But this time, without the previous detection to rely on, Lu Fan could only rely on random guessing.
In the end, he bought dozens of items, large and small, some of which were valuable and some of which were not. He spent millions and lost a few ordinary pieces of jade in bets. Although he has lost a lot, it is harmless, after all, he has a huge financial support of more than 10 million.
The next day, Lu Fan boarded the high-speed train back to Beishan City alone. Hua Tou was busy cooperating with Jin Zhu Jewelry, Gu Feishang was preparing for an audition, and Xiao Ming's family seemed to have a lot of things to deal with, so naturally no one would join him.
Then I saw him dial Young Master Huang Feng's phone number and said, "Young Master Feng." It's me. I have something I want you to help me with. ”
On the other end of the phone, Huang Feng was enjoying a gentle massage from a kawaii beauty. But when he heard the ringtone he had set up specifically for someone, his expression immediately changed, and he sat up numbly from the massage table.
"Hey, is it Dr. Lu, help. Just tell me anything and I'll do my best to help you. When Huang Feng heard that Lu Fan was asking him for help, Huang Feng became excited and spoke quickly.
Just kidding, this is the first time Lu Fan has taken the initiative to ask him for help. If it is done well, it will be a great achievement, so naturally he can't help but get excited.
"That's right. I recently wanted to buy a car, but the driver's license was a bit of a hassle. The exam is too long. Can you help me think of a way to make an appointment so that I can go straight to all the exams at once? Lu Fan said on the other end of the phone.
"Driver's license."
When Huang Feng heard this, he was stunned. He didn't expect that Lu Fan, who seemed to him to be a god-like figure, would ask him for such a trivial matter. He was a little disappointed at first, then quickly replied, "It's true." Or, Dr. Lu, tell me directly when you have time, and I will arrange it for you on the same day. ”
"Okay, then tomorrow, I'll be free all day tomorrow." When Lu Fan heard this, he immediately became happy. If he had known that Huang Feng would be like this, he would have called a long time ago, and he would not have waited for so many days, and he would have started without even arranging the exam for subject two.
If he keeps waiting like this, God knows it will take another month or so to get his driver's license, so even if he gets it then, it's still unknown whether he wants to drive or not.
After all, for Lu Fan now, buying a car is actually just a hobby. Buy it if you want it, if you don't want to buy it, don't buy it. If you have money, be willful.
The next day, Huang Feng took advantage of his connections and arranged for Lu Fan to take the driver's license test early in the morning. Originally, when the prosecutors saw such a big battle, and the dignified son of Deputy Huang SZ personally opened the way for them, they were naturally ready to be deceived. No matter how bad Lu Fan's driving skills are and how unsightly they are, he still has to give the green light all the way and issue a driver's license.
Obviously, all of them regarded Lu Fan as a big man with poor driving skills and could only go through the back door to test for his driver's license.
But when Lu Fan passed subjects 1, 2, 3, and 4 almost perfectly, each of them felt as if they were blind, and their jaws almost fell to the ground in surprise.
It's not that his driving skills are very poor, but that he drives so well that even many old drivers with twenty or thirty years of driving experience cover their faces in shame and feel ashamed.
Damn, you're kidding. With this technology, you'll still need to go through the back door to get your driver's license.
So what are they, just find a piece of tofu and beat him to death.
Pac Son is one of the largest cities in Jiangnan Province. Its comprehensive economic strength and cultural heritage can be said to be second only to the provincial capital. Naturally, it has been favored by many domestic and foreign automobile brands. They set up a branch here. From there it is the busiest on Airport Boulevard.
Low-end Hyundai, Kia, Great Wall, Geely......
Mid-to-high-end Chevrolet, Peugeot, Buick, Honda.
Jaguar, Lexus, Infiniti, Mercedes-Benz ...... are at a higher level.
And the top ones like Porsche, Maserati, Ferrari, Bentley...
It can be said that the doorways of these brands are on the other side of Airport Boulevard. Of course, this is also related to the early urban planning of the city. It is evident that the city was prescient and turned that area into an automobile city in the southwest, even more popular than the provincial capital.
Lu Fan came by bus. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the wide road and the luxuriously decorated 4S stores of various brands on both sides of the road.
"There are so many auto shops here, which one is better to open first?" Since he had never thought about what kind of car to buy before, Lu Fan ran into trouble again on the bus.
In his opinion, as long as the car is easy to drive, looks pleasing to the eye, and is comfortable to sit on, the price is definitely not a problem. After all, he is now a legitimate multi-millionaire. Except for those ridiculously expensive collector's edition sports cars, there was nothing he couldn't afford.
"Young people, come and buy a car, too. As it happens, so am I. I think you're in trouble. You don't have a lot of money, and you don't know which car to choose. Would you mind telling me what your budget is? Big brother, I don't know much about the rest, but I still know a little about this car. It is very likely that after hearing Lu Fan's muttering, a middle-aged man in black asked with a friendly smile.
"Budget, this ...... I'm not too worried about the price, I just don't have a car that's comfortable to drive. Lu Fan smiled gratefully after hearing this and said.
"Don't worry about the price. You read that right, young man, you're still a rich man, hahaha. ”
The middle-aged man laughed unexpectedly and immediately gave Lu Fan some advice: "Since you don't need to think about the price, and you have to drive comfortably, I suggest you consider off-road vehicles." Both Jaguar and Land Rover are good. Of course, if you like cars, I recommend Mercedes and Lexus. Isn't there a saying about driving a Mercedes-Benz and riding a BMW? ”
"Lexus, Mercedes. I remember that the Lexus seemed to be a Japanese car, so I went to the Mercedes-Benz store to have a look. Thank you, uncle. Lu Fan nodded after hearing this, and politely said goodbye to the kind uncle.
Although he doesn't know much about cars, he still knows a little about Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi, three well-known domestic car brands. The latter's Audi, for example, is a well-known government-specific car, but its styling is too one-size-fits-all and the same. He didn't like it very much, so he gave up.
As for the rest of Mercedes and BMW... There is indeed such a saying that driving a Mercedes-Benz and taking a BMW means that the driving experience of Mercedes-Benz is better than that of BMW, and in terms of exterior design, Lu Fan still relies more on the former.
As for why he didn't choose an off-road vehicle, I'm afraid he didn't understand what an off-road vehicle was. English, I don't understand.
As the most well-known three major automobile brands in China, Mercedes-Benz 4S store immediately rose in the most conspicuous and prosperous location of Airport Avenue. It was a three- or four-story luxury building with ordinary private residences in it. From a distance, it looks very grand and stylish. Lu Fan walked in slowly.
On the first floor of the Mercedes-Benz 4S store, I saw a translucent lobby with a dazzling array of classic models from the brand's various series.
"So many cars."
At this moment, even Lu Fan didn't look like a hillbilly who went into the city.
It was the first time he had seen so many luxury cars put together. Again, the focus is on the brand-new, shiny cars, not to mention the bombardment of lights and LED promotional videos.
"Hello, sir, are you here to see the car? Please let me know if you need anything. But before he could stay any longer, a saleswoman wearing light makeup came to greet him.
It has to be said that as one of the three most well-known automobile brands in China, Mercedes-Benz still has a good way to select and train sales talents.
