It is better to discuss business separately.
Li Shi smiled and originally wanted to send a message to Chen Yao to tell Chen Yao that Qiao Qiao would be coming the day after tomorrow as planned, but he was afraid that Wang Yuelan couldn't help but make a sound, so he chose to type with one hand.
"Sister Chen, I have already made an appointment with Qiao Qiao for the day after tomorrow. How about you postpone it for two days? Anyway, the business between us is easy."
Chen Yao's reply this time was not very fast. It took several minutes for the message to come over: "Yes, our business is easy to talk about. If so, I will come tomorrow! (呲ya)"
Li Shi was stunned for a moment and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
This woman really wants to fight for everything. I guess the better she is as a best friend, the more she will fight...
However, Sun Shouwen no longer needs to accompany him, and there is nothing else to do tomorrow anyway. Li Shi replied directly: "Okay, it's still the same. You confirm the itinerary and send me the time. If you come by plane or high-speed rail, If so, I will still ask my assistant to pick you up."
In fact, the two businesswomen Chen Yao and Qiao Qiao have different personalities. In comparison, Chen Yao is indeed more resolute.
She sent the high-speed rail ticket information that night and it would arrive at noon tomorrow.
Li Shi forwarded it to his assistant Zhang Huijing, asking her to go to Phoenix Bay tomorrow and then drive the Bentley to pick him up at the high-speed rail station.
…
After in-depth and detailed research, and with the help of Wang Yuelan, a top model, and after trying seven or eight plans, Li Shi thoroughly studied this yellow internet celebrity jersey in half a day.
What does this skirt look like if it is worn seriously, what does it look like half-worn and half-unworn, what does it look like if it is slightly wet with sweat, what does it look like if it is completely soaked and translucent... Finally, he came to the conclusion that this is indeed a dress. The treasure skirt can show the charm of the model in different states.
Of course, the main reason is that the model has good looks and a particularly good figure.
Small waist, big butt, attractive.
At midnight, Wang Yuelan was really tired and fell asleep wrapped in a soft quilt in the master bedroom with great satisfaction. Li Shi came to the study again, found some packages from the corner, opened them, and checked the history-related books that had been mailed. , and then put them one by one in the bookcase.
He bought a lot of books. Anyway, he had too much energy, and the entertainment activities just now were just drizzle, so it would be okay to go to bed later. He simply checked the preface and table of contents of each book at the same time while sorting it out.
"Sure enough, this kind of reading and studying is easy for me."
Li Shi's previous plan was to stop studying and just have fun before the Chinese New Year.
But later he discovered that there was no need to deliberately study or not study. Relaxation is a state of mind.
Even if you don't study, you just play all day long, and your mentality is not relaxed, then your whole person will be tense.
So now he is looking for a relaxed state where he does not deliberately study or rest.
At about nine o'clock the next morning, Li Shi saw Sun Shouwen posting a photo of him and He Hongyan climbing Lushan on WeChat Moments, and he smiled and liked it.
Just after clicking the like, Sun Shouwen sent a WeChat message: "Brother, I went back to Zhaoyang directly after having dinner with Hongyan at noon. I have to go to work tomorrow. Thank you!"
Li Shi: "(Raising eyebrows) Okay, now they are all shouting in rainbow colors. It seems like there is something going on?"
Sun Shouwen: "Hey, I'll try to make you the best man on National Day next year, or even on May Day!"
Li Shi: "(Force), then I'm waiting for the wedding banquet. Come on."
After chatting for a while, I received a message from Qiao Qiao: "Brother Shi, is it convenient now? Can I have a video?"
Li Shi didn't reply immediately. He was watching TV in the living room with his beautiful cook in his arms. He patted her plump parts and said something. Wang Yuelan understood and stood up and sat next to him. He got up and came to the study. He took out a jewelry box from the safe, and then sent a message back to Qiao Qiao.
After more than ten seconds, Qiao Qiao sent a video call.
After the call was connected, Li Shi saw several people, both men and women, appearing in the opposite camera, and knew that she was ready.
First, I looked at the details indoors, then moved to the floor-to-ceiling windows to look at the situation under natural light.
Although the true beauty of top-quality jadeite cannot be 100% restored in the video, there will always be a certain color difference, and it is difficult to see the jewelery of top-quality jadeite 100% clearly in the video.
But we are all professionals and can make recommendations based on what we know.
After hanging up the video, they discussed it for about ten minutes, and then Qiao Qiao called again and confirmed that he would come to Tanzhou tomorrow.
And after confirming the itinerary, she began to pester Li Shimo about the price - it was obvious that she liked this bracelet very much.
Li Shi rubbed it with her while reviewing the history textbook in the first volume of junior high school.
We haven't met yet, so he certainly can't lower the price easily.
At ten o'clock, Zhang Huijing arrived at Phoenix Bay, first reported to Li Shi, and then drove the Bentley Flying Spur to pick him up at the high-speed rail station.
At eleven o'clock, Wang Yuelan came to the study: "Shitou, I have already ordered food on WeChat at the restaurant, but I am a little worried and want to go and have a look first. The guests should arrive at half past twelve."
Today is the first time that she has taken charge of reception as a "life assistant" - actually there is not much to do, and it is very simple. She just arranges for everyone to have a meal at noon, but she is still very nervous.
Li Shi waved to her.
When the woman came closer, he casually put his arms around her slim waist and relaxed her in his own way.
"Are you still nervous?"
Li Shi asked with a smile, applying gentle force with his ten fingers.
It took Wang Yuelan two minutes to calm down her breathing. She shook her head with a flushed face and said softly: "I'm not nervous anymore."
At 12:10, Li Shi received a call from his assistant Zhang Huijing. It took another ten minutes before the two drove off.
This time I changed to a different hotel, but the reception process was still the same as last time.
Apart from the addition of Wang Yuelan, the people are still the same.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the group returned to Phoenix Bay from the hotel and began to look at the goods.
"I'm convinced! Brother, I'm really convinced by the goods you found!"
After carefully looking at the imperial jade grade melon, Chen Yao immediately took Li Shi to one side to discuss the price.
This time they changed their cooperation method, with Chen Yao responsible for conducting transactions on behalf of the seller, and she took a commission from it.
Li Shi still took her to the study to talk in detail.
Of course, the Emerald Fugua was also brought into the study.
After some communication, the lowest price range was agreed upon, and Chen Yao immediately smiled and said: "Thanks to you, brother, I will also eat a piece of meat, thank you!"
Li Shi pretended to be serious and said: "This is the stuff at the bottom of the box. Products of this level will be hard to find any more in a short time."
These two pieces were released at the end of the year. At least in the first half of next year, he does not plan to exchange wealth attribute points for emeralds.
Even if he wants to sell, he will sell something else, or sell something he cut out of the original stone.
"Brother, here is the bracelet you prepared for Qiao Qiao. Take it out and let me open my eyes."
After her business was settled, Chen Yao immediately remembered her other purpose for coming to Tanzhou in advance, and immediately winked at Li Shi.
She is a strong woman in the business world. Although her appearance and figure are not top-notch, she has a unique temperament and is quite attractive.
In particular, she is the kind of woman who knows how to exude her charm.
Just asking this question in the blink of an eye is really interesting.
However, Li Shi felt calm.
He knew clearly that for women like Chen Yao and Qiao Qiao who had business cooperation and planned to have long-term business cooperation, he had already made a psychological preparation and precaution of "don't mess with them".
But it’s okay to look at the bracelet. This was agreed upon last night.
Li Shi took out another prepared jewelry box from the safe.
Chen Yao is a person who loves jade. When she saw the bracelet, she immediately puffed up her chest with excitement. She held it with both hands and examined it carefully. She also touched every part of the round bar with her fingers from time to time, not missing any detail.
After a while, he raised his head and looked at Li Shi with a bit of confusion and wonder: "It's amazing. This bracelet has almost no flaws. If it is put up for auction, it will cost at least 30 to 40 million yuan."
After saying that, her red lips opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but after a moment of hesitation, she didn't say it.
But Li Shi knew what she was thinking.
It's just that she saw good things and thought that she couldn't grab them, but she probably took into account Qiao Qiao's side and the fact that she couldn't sell goods of this quality at any time. Without a buyer in advance, she couldn't get them. , which will take up a large part of her cash...
Chen Yao and his party came and left quickly.
Because the business talks are going smoothly, I will be in a hurry.
At noon the next day, Qiao Qiao brought someone with her. She also had a similar itinerary, but she came earlier. She arrived at Phoenix Bay at around 11 o'clock. She checked the goods first and then had a meal.
The transaction with her didn't go so smoothly. The main issue was the price. From the moment the two met, it lasted until about three o'clock in the afternoon. During this time, she made many phone calls, and finally the transaction was completed at a price of 28.5 million.
Qiao Qiao took the bracelet to Shanghai that day.
In addition, I have to say that the financial backer behind her is indeed very powerful, and the money arrived in the account the next afternoon.
Once the money arrived, the cash in several accounts added together officially exceeded 100 million!
Li Shi was originally reading Jin Yong's other martial arts novel "The Deer and the Cauldron" in his study. After receiving the text message, he immediately checked the cash in his various accounts——
"CCB 12.22 million, Bank of China 12.3 million, Agricultural Bank of China 12.1 million, ICBC 73.2 million, 10,000, Alipay 80,000, total 109.99 million!"
"My current cash deposit exceeds 100 million, close to 110 million!"
Li Shi didn't look at it anymore. He sat up from the chair excitedly, counted it twice, and then happily came to the living room, hugged Wang Yuelan who was watching a food show, and "ravaged her" with his hands, lips and tongue. "After a while.
"I'm happy today, let's celebrate!"
Wang Yuelan blushed and asked, "How to celebrate? Buy a cake?"
Li Shi smiled and said: "It's not a birthday, well, let's go out for a big meal! Then come back in the evening..."
He leaned close to the woman's delicate ear and whispered a few words, which immediately made Wang Yuelan's face blush even more.
But the woman doted on him, and although she was very shy, she still nodded.
The two changed their clothes and went downstairs. Wang Yuelan drove and Li Shi sat in the passenger seat. After getting in the car, he thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the International Financial Center. Just follow the navigation."
She drives a Bentley Flying Spur because she knows that Li Shi doesn't like driving very much. Wang Yuelan sometimes finds time to try to drive all the cars in her family. The Bentley is the car she practices on the most because her driving skills are very good. Now that she drives this car, She is also very skilled.
One hundred million is a watershed.
The cash deposit of more than 100 million was also very exciting for Li Shi. He looked at the scenery outside the car window and was still very excited, thinking that he had to share this joy with the most important person to him - Chen Qiuye. Having already shared it, he took out his mobile phone and immediately transferred 100,000 to his mother's account.
Then he sent another message: "Mom, what are you doing? I just transferred money to you, please check."
"I saw the text message."
"Okay, have you had dinner? What delicious food has Sister Qiaona prepared for you tonight?"
After Li Qiaona got the investment from Li Shi, she immediately started a business in her hometown. She also hired many people and specially created a group. Li Shi and her mother were also in the group. He saw Nagu talking in the group some time ago. Everyone has worked hard, so I have to prepare some extra dishes to reward everyone tonight... It was also this message that made him think about having a big meal to celebrate his savings exceeding 100 million.
This time, Mother Li replied with a voice: "Son, Nana has prepared chicken, duck, and fish tonight. She has everything. She also made singing things. We are going to start here. I won't tell you anymore. You can take care of it yourself. Be good to yourself!"
Li Shi smiled and replied: "Okay."
I thought that investing in Nagu was the right move. Her return to her hometown would at least make the village more lively. My mother would be involved and help out occasionally, and she wouldn't have to do any heavy work, so she could still be happy every day.
It was still early when they arrived at the International Financial Center. The two walked around downstairs. Li Shi bought a gold necklace for Wang Yuelan at the gold store, and then took the elevator to the 88th floor of the International Financial Center.
"In a Foreign Land" restaurant is now one of the most popular high-end internet celebrity western restaurants in Tanzhou.
Li Shi had been to several other restaurants in the Guojin Building before, but this was his first time here. As soon as he walked in, he found that the decoration inside was very luxurious, and all the people coming in and out were well-dressed people.
He now goes in and out of places like this, just like going to the market to buy vegetables. Although he is dressed in ordinary clothes, he looks calm.
Not to mention other things, in terms of savings, it is estimated that 90% of the savings of those people in the restaurant who look more successful than him are less than a fraction of his savings.
After all, this fraction is now 9.99 million in cash.
Wang Yuelan was a little nervous at first, but as soon as she took Li Shi's arm, she immediately stopped being nervous.
Because they didn't make a reservation in advance, the window seat with the best view was gone, but they didn't care. They lived in the river view room every day and had no need for it. They just found a seat and started ordering.
The main course was lobster and steak, and Li Shi asked the waiter to recommend other side dishes based on the main course.
After ordering the meal, the two talked about going to meet Wang Yuelan's former brother-in-law's family.
"Have you thought about it?" Li Shi asked softly,
"I was still a little confused at first, but when I had a video chat with Qiuye today at noon, she told me that it would be better to go there so as not to keep thinking about this matter. Anyway, I don't have to worry about them, I just want to meet the children... from now on. She, I, and you are a family." Wang Yuelan whispered back.
Just as Li Shi was about to speak, his cell phone WeChat message suddenly rang twice.
When I picked up the phone and looked at it, I couldn't help but look surprised. It turned out to be Chen Qiuye's colleague in the capital, Wang Yuan, who was tall and strong and liked to play arm wrestling.
"Brother Shi, are you busy?"
"I want to ask you something. Will you come to the capital soon?"
