What happens next is not as complicated as imagined. The Steel Sisters, who have been abstinent for many years, are like a dam that is about to burst. Once a breach occurs, it will trigger a huge flood that is out of control.
In fact, strictly speaking, Xiang Caidi is far from "old". For the lifespan of a large guard-level, forty years is only equivalent to the golden age of twenty-five or six years old, not to mention that she still has a great chance. Impact Lord level.
But after all, after being alone for so many years, the fire in my heart was either suppressed like a dynamite barrel, or completely disappeared.
Xiang Caidi is obviously the former, and it's extra large. When the fuse was completely lit, the embankment was finally breached, and the flood surged out, instantly drowning reason.
And under Chen Xing's persuasion and threats, like a female animal trapped in a cage and wailing in despair, he signed many unequal treaties with the defeated. For example, she vowed never to reveal what happened today to anyone, otherwise she would be in danger, or she admitted that she was a shameless old woman, and under various temptations, she finally made a big mistake, but the fault was not with the other party, the other party was just An innocent victim and so on.
In short, he is a sinner who bears all the guilt and shame.
After spending a pleasant noon, Chen Xing picked up two large trucks of jade when he came out of Beiqiao Town.
Unfortunately, the Beiqiao group did not pay much attention to it, thinking it was a useless stone, and the damage rate of the jade reached one-third. Chen Xing planned to drag it to Huijiao City and find some craftsmen to repair it. If it didn't work, he would make it into a smaller object.
Chen Xing's hype plan is to first have people auction it in various royal cities, and then find some familiar businessmen to bid for it, and then buy it back after the auction. Although a lot of money will be lost in the process, because the auction house's commission is calculated based on 5% of the transaction price, but after one operation, it can increase the popularity of the auction items in a disguised manner and provide a basis for market prices.
Thinking of this, Chen Xing suddenly discovered a serious problem - he lacked relevant talents and had to run it himself.
But the problem is that he is now the leader of a town and the president of the Hanged Skull Alliance. If he goes here, he will be lost there. It is impossible to do everything by himself.
It seems that attracting talents has become a top priority.
Chen Xing thought about it carefully and found that although he had many people under his command, he did not have any business-related, social-related, or political power-related people.
Da Mao, Wu Jinjian, and Cassie lead troops to fight. Claire and her four daughters are mainly involved in logistics. Although they involve some business, they are essentially executors. They only execute the plan he has set, not a certain person. Expertise in various fields.
Take the Three Kingdoms on Earth as an example.
Under Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were the generals who led the troops in battle. Zhuge Liang was a military advisor and a civil servant. In addition to formulating strategies, Zhuge Liang also played a very important role in representing the Jingzhou nobles and gaining support from the local nobles. This also laid the foundation for Liu Bei to take control of Jingzhou.
Zhuge Liang helped Liu Bei in two directions, one was to formulate strategic military advisors, and the other was to serve as a bridge to unite local nobles.
He, Chen Xing, is not an all-rounder and needs help from people in various fields. And even if he is an all-rounder like Cao Cao, who knows everything, Cao Cao still needs his think tank, and Cao Cao has more people than Liu Bei.
To put it simply, he also needs his Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Guo Jia, Lu Su...
Even Tie Nuo had Shen Guangming back then. Although Shen Guangming has passed away now, the strategies he set still affect the Thunder Light Group.
But now that he is not going out to fight for the world, he does not need a military adviser for the time being, but he needs HR who are responsible for discovering talents and talents who are responsible for business operations.
A mature organization, like a company, will be divided into departments, each department responsible for one direction of work.
If he now has a business department, he can just assign the tasks to the department managers, give them a strategic direction, and ask them regularly, and the problem can basically be solved.
Everything must be done personally, and the boss will be exhausted before the money is earned.
In order not to be a tired boss, Chen Xing began to search his memory to see if there were any reliable talents among the people he knew.
First of all, he thought of the fat man Akita he met on the plane. He is now a teacher at White Tower College and the apprentice of Fo Yongqi, a scholar at White Tower University. After all, he should have two brushes. Even if it doesn't work, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and its knowledge is definitely better than that of ordinary people. It can be used as a walking encyclopedia.
Find a time to get in touch and see what the other person thinks. It’s impossible to study for the rest of your life and not make contributions, right?
Then he thought of Fatty Lu Dahai, who knew everything about him, had a reliable character, had been in business for so many years, and had the will to develop.
The top priority now is to solve the jade sales matter. Chen Xing will do it as soon as he thinks about it. He immediately contacts Lu Dahai and arranges to meet him at Gray Corner City.
When Lu Dahai heard that there was a big business to be done, he rushed over immediately.
Two days later, the two met at the third uncle's cafe.
"You think this thing can be sold for a big price?" Lu Dahai looked at the jade Ruyi in his hand and asked doubtfully. After all, this thing was beyond his knowledge. It was hard for people to believe that a handicraft carved from green stone had huge value.
"Things are rare and valuable," Chen Xing said.
"Hmm..." Lu Haihai nodded thoughtfully.
"And I discovered that it was once popular in the Eastern Continent before the Cataclysm, and it is still in their museum now."
"If it is true, then this matter is very certain." Lu Dahai said.
"I've already investigated it, just go ahead and do it." Then, Chen Xing told Lu Dahai his thoughts.
First use the auction house to increase prices and awareness, and then promote it through the Internet.
The Internet relies on "traffic", that is, how many people can see the pushed advertisements. Chen Xing has Sola here, so this is naturally not a problem. However, it was impossible for him and Lu Dahai to tell the truth, that is to say, there was an acquaintance who knew a lot about online promotion, and he could just leave it to him when the time came.
"If this thing can be done, in addition to the money for the work, I will give you a 1% dividend." Chen Xing said. According to Chen Xing's inner valuation, this batch of goods can be sold for three to four million, and Lu Haiguang can get tens of thousands of gold coins in dividends.
If you want to work efficiently, you must be willing to give up profits, so that everyone can make money together. Only if you are willing to give up a small amount of money can you make a lot of money.
After the matter was finalized, Lu Dahai began to look for suitable business partners, signed agreements with them, and then went to various auction houses in the royal city to speculate.
With Sola's secret help, things went smoothly, and soon the day of the Lizard City auction arrived.
The auction house was crowded, and the seats were packed. In fact, more than half of the people were from Chen Xing's side.
After auctioning several scattered items, the auctioneer took out a jade Ruyi.
"This is a jade collection from the ancient Eastern culture. It was popular in the Eastern Continent for a long time before the catastrophe. Friends who are interested can visit the museums in the Eastern Continent for confirmation."
"This jadeite artifact is called Two Dragons Playing with Pearls Ruyi. It is beautifully carved, warm and transparent. It was unearthed from the left-hand plane of the same world. The starting price is two thousand gold coins, and each bidding price is no less than one hundred gold coins."
After the words fell, the whole place was silent. No one bid, because no one knew the collection value of jade artifacts.
It is true that this jadeite object is green and transparent, with exquisite craftsmanship and two oriental dragons carved lifelikely. You can tell at a glance that it was made by a master. But as a collectible, whether it looks good or not is second, and whether it can maintain its value is the first. No one is willing to spend a lot of money to buy a collectible of unknown value.
"Two thousand gold coins is my first bid."
"Second bid of two thousand gold coins."
"The third bidder is two thousand gold coins..."
Seeing that the auction was about to fail, several businessmen raised their signs at the same time.
"Six gentlemen raised their signs at the same time, and the price automatically rose to two thousand six hundred gold coins. Does anyone put down their signs?"
"There are four gentlemen raising their signs at the same time. The price will automatically rise to three thousand gold coins. Will anyone put down their signs?"
After several rounds of bidding, Erlongxi Zhuyu Ruyi rose to four thousand gold coins.
"Sir, can you ask me what the value of this thing is?" A wealthy businessman couldn't help but ask the bidder next to him.
"To be honest, I don't know very well." The bidder shook his head, "Anyway, it's just a few thousand gold coins, buy it for fun."
The wealthy businessman was doubtful. After all, everyone sitting here was a competitor, so it was normal for him not to disclose information.
In the blink of an eye, the price of jade Ruyi was raised to eight thousand gold coins, and the deal was finally completed.
The winning bidder seemed to be in a good mood and accidentally let the matter slip.
"To be honest, it is very similar to the heirloom recorded in our family. It is green and transparent, and the treasure aura is astonishing. Our family comes from the Eastern Continent. Due to wars and natural disasters, it has traveled to many places.
The road is bumpy and wandering, and the family heirlooms have long been lost. Being able to buy back a jade treasure this time can be considered as a way of explaining something to the ancestors. "
After resting for a while, the auctioneer took out the second jade artifact.
"An emerald jade bracelet, the starting price is 5,000 gold coins, and each bidding price is no less than 150 gold coins..."
The appearance of this brilliant jadeite bracelet immediately aroused widespread admiration.
Because its color is the same as emerald, but the internal texture is slightly different. The market price of jade may not be clear, but emerald is a precious treasure known to all women and children.
This jade bracelet has an indescribable beauty. It is as green as water and natural. It is more flawless than ordinary emeralds, but the price is less than one-tenth.
The reason why gems are gems is that they can evoke the possessive desire deep in people's hearts.
Its essence is a beautiful and rare stone, whether it is diamond, amber, agate crystal or jade, its essence is the same.
The asking price of the jade bracelet soon exceeded 10,000 yuan, kept rising, and finally stopped at 23,600 gold coins.
The person who got it was overjoyed and accepted an interview with the reporter.
“This is definitely the cheapest emerald bracelet I’ve ever bought!”
In the following period, similar things continued to happen at the auction houses in various royal cities across the Ambergris River.
At the same time, articles about jade collections were widely circulated on the Internet. Some articles describe the past and present life of jadeite and its relationship with ancient oriental culture. Some articles point out the possibility of scams. Some articles teach people to identify the authenticity of jadeite.
Many businessmen from the Eastern Continent came to the Ambergris River because of its reputation, full of curiosity about the products of the same culture, and wanted to have a closer look.
In just two weeks, with Sora's secret push, Jade's topic soared to become the No. 1 topic on the Internet.
A jade collecting craze gradually began to spread among aristocratic circles.
By the beginning of December, a small number of aristocratic circles in Ice Blue City were wearing jade pendants to attend dances.
As time went by, by mid-December, the craze for jade collection gradually heated up, and then a new round of comparisons and showing off wealth began.
Nobles are proud to own one or two pieces of jade jewelry to show off their pursuit of trends and taste in life.
Chen Xing shipped a large amount of goods, and as of a few days before the Harvest Festival, sales had reached more than three million gold coins.
But instead of selling all the best jadeite, he sold half of it and kept the other half. He also hired fifty or sixty jewelry craftsmen through his third uncle to work day and night to re-polishing the damaged jade and then put it on the market.
After earning more than three million, Chen Xing did not dare to keep it all for himself, so he spent one million to honor Hua Beidou. After all, he has trained two such good apprentices for him, so he can't treat each other badly, right?
Although Hua Beidou had no shortage of money, no one would refuse free money. He praised Chen Xing for the first time, saying that he had a "smart mind" and even asked him to smoke a hand-rolled cigarette.
Seeing Chen Xing send money back, Xiang Caidi was even more elated and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect that a few broken stones could be sold for money. I have a new understanding of your cunning."
However, her compliment made the client very unhappy, so after leaving Hua Beidou, the client found her privately.
"When you mention me in the future, please pay attention to your wording." Chen Xing warned. You can call him "wise", but you can't call him "cunning". The former is a compliment, while the latter is obviously a derogation.
The always tough female man's eyes flickered and she didn't dare to look directly into his eyes.
"Did you hear what I said?" Chen Xing raised his voice.
"Oh, oh..." The female man nodded timidly.
"I will let you remember that there is a price to pay for making mistakes." Chen Xing's eyes flashed fiercely, and then Xiang Caidi showed despair.
A new round of conquest will soon begin, and this time it will not end so easily. Since it is punishment, it must leave a deep enough memory. Otherwise, the same mistake will be made again, and she will remember it for the rest of her life. Whenever I say the wrong thing, I will remember the pain of that day.
