The next afternoon.
Two men in suits and ties came to visit. They claimed to be from the "New Space and Time Security Company" in Beijing. They came to inspect the site for design and budgeting.
Zhu Changan had difficulty moving, so he asked Fang Rou to take them to survey the villa.
Finally, the designer came up with his plan: the vault could be built at the back of the building, dug underground in the back hall, and occupy part of the public greenery.
"It is built underground in the back hall. Do I need to demolish the building above?" Zhu Changan asked, sitting crookedly on the sofa.
The current length of the fish tank exceeds seven meters, the width is three and a half meters, and the total area is more than 20 square meters. It is impossible to move it. If the other party refuses to keep this back hall, they can only give up the plan of building a vault.
The designer said: "Don't worry, Boss Zhu, your back hall is built with profiles and is very light in weight. We are building an underground vault and it will have no impact on the top at all."
"That's good."
Zhu Changan felt relieved, "Then send me the design plan and quotation as soon as possible."
"Okay, Boss Zhu."
The two men in suits stood up and left.
Soon, at noon the next day, New Century Security Company called.
"Boss Zhu, after our designer's budget, your vault can be built to 300 square meters. All of them are made of new technology materials, fireproof, anti-theft, waterproof, explosion-proof, and flame-cutting-proof, including a set of far-red monitoring equipment. Down 33.56 million."
"I won't follow you either, just erase the loose ends!"
Zhu Changan said straight to the point, "If you can take charge, you can let your staff set off now."
"Okay then, I'll ask the leader for instructions and I'll charge you 33.5 million."
"I want you to erase all the numbers after 30 million and make up three zeros."
"This is not possible." The other party objected repeatedly, "I can't directly report this price to the leader. We are only making a profit of one million yuan. We will lose money at your price."
"Then I have no choice but to find another security company. You, New Century, are not the only ones doing this in the market."
Zhu Changan turned on the speaker phone, giving himself acupuncture while bargaining with the other party.
"We have the most advanced technology."
"It's cheap."
“The quality of our materials is reliable.”
"It's cheap."
“Our workers are experienced.”
"It's cheap."
The salesperson on the opposite side broke through: "Let's do this, Boss Zhu, I'll give you 560,000 and charge you 3,300. If you can agree, I will go to the leader to sign it now. If not, I can only say sorry..."
"3300 is fine, but how long will your construction period take?"
"About 30 days."
"Add more workers, speed up the process, and it must be completed within 20 days. If it can be done, you can send the electronic contract over now, and I will sign and pay the deposit."
"Hmm... let me ask the engineering department."
"No need to ask, just tell me if you can do it?"
"able."
"Okay, send me the electronic contract and construction plan."
Half an hour later, Zhu Changan received the project plan and electronic contract from the other party.
Zhu Changan browsed it briefly and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he signed his name as prompted and paid a deposit of 5 million to the other party.
"Okay, Boss Zhu, the contract has been signed. We will mobilize materials and equipment immediately and strive to start construction the day after tomorrow at the latest."
At nine o'clock in the morning that day, an elegantly dressed intellectual woman in her forties appeared at the door of Zhu Changan's house. She was Cheng Mei who came from the capital to report.
In order to welcome her, Zhu Changan specially asked Li Xiaobai to equip him with a Mercedes-Benz S-Class to show his respect for her.
After all, he is a high-level migrant worker with an annual salary of 30 million, and he must be taken care of well.
Li Xiaobai had just brought Cheng Mei back from the airport with his driver and introduced her: "This is Mr. Zhu Chang'an, the boss of our Chang'an Group."
Zhu Changan smiled and shook hands with Cheng Mei: "Welcome Mr. Cheng."
"Hello, Boss Zhu, please take good care of me in the future." Cheng Mei, wearing a professional suit, smiled and shook hands with Zhu Changan.
Zhu Changan said: "My wife praises you a lot, but I am thirsty for talents and think about them day and night."
"Your wife?"
Cheng Mei asked in surprise, wondering where I could go to meet your wife!
"That's Cheng Yinuo." Zhu Changan said calmly, "Strictly speaking, you did not change employers, you just came to work from your mother's family."
Cheng Mei suddenly realized: "It turns out that you and Miss Yinuo are boyfriend and girlfriend. No wonder she keeps trying to persuade me to work in Lanling."
Zhu Chang'an said: "Currently, our Chang'an Group's registered capital is 50 million, and it has two companies: one is Chang'an Art Exhibition and Appraisal Company, referred to as Chang'an Antiques, and the other is Chang'an Culture Media Co., Ltd. Li Xiaobai is in charge of the group General manager, but not involved in the specific business, Changan Antiques will be fully operated by Mr. Cheng from today on."
"Thank you, Boss Zhu, for your trust." Cheng Mei was very pleased with Zhu Changan's statement.
Zhu Changan asked Li Xiaobai again: "How is the security team building going?"
Li Xiaobai greeted him with a smile: "My cousin has arrived and has hired more than a dozen people, but the vault is still under preparation."
Cheng Mei interjected: "I am more experienced, let me arrange it!"
"Leave it to Mr. Cheng!"
Zhu Changan pointed to a pile of ancient paintings that he had taken out from the study room in advance: "This is the first batch of products I sold to the company. They are all paintings from the Ming Dynasty and before."
Before Cheng Mei came, what she was most worried about was that Xinwenwan Company had no goods, leaving her useless.
Unexpectedly, the boss suddenly brought out a lot of calligraphy and paintings from his house, and he started reading them enthusiastically.
"This painting is from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. It is estimated to be worth three to four million."
"This one is not bad. It's from the Yuan Dynasty. It can probably be sold for five million."
"Hey... there are also ones from the Song Dynasty. The price is quite high, probably no less than eight figures..."
"Wow...fuck!"
When she saw Gu Kaizhi's "Luo Shen Fu", the elegant Cheng Mei couldn't help but cursed, "I'm sorry, I'm so excited. I didn't expect that there are works by Gu Kaizhi, a great painter of the Jin Dynasty."
Zhu Changan said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng is also a master of antiques. Can you help me identify whether this picture is true or false?"
"OK."
Cheng Mei immediately took out white gloves from her handbag and put them on, then took out a magnifying glass, spread the "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo" on the ground, and squatted down to observe it carefully.
"Mr. Li, please help Fang Rou. How can we make Mr. Cheng squat?" Zhu Changan glared at Li Xiaobai and ordered.
Li Xiaobai and Fang Rou immediately grabbed one side and unfolded it, so Cheng Mei no longer had to squat on the ground to study.
After looking at it for about ten minutes, Cheng Mei gave the appraisal result: "This painting should undoubtedly be an authentic work by Gu Kaizhi, and its market valuation is no less than 300 million."
"300 million?"
Li Xiaobai's eyes widened, and his hands holding the picture couldn't help but tremble, "Is this picture made of gold? Is it worth 300 million?"
Fang Rou was also shocked: "It's dozens of times more expensive than gold, and this painting only weighs seven or eight kilograms. Your seven or eight kilograms of gold can only be sold for about two million."
Zhu Changan laughed "haha": "You don't understand this, so professional things must be left to professionals. From now on, you will only be responsible for leadership, and the specific business of Changan Wenwan will be fully responsible for Mr. Cheng."
Cheng Mei nodded gratefully: "Thanks to the trust of the boss, and having such a valuable painting in hand, our Chang'an Wenwan will definitely have great achievements in the future. I believe that after some planning, this Luo Shen Fu can be sold for at least 400 million above!"
"Great, I'll wait and see!"
Zhu Changan high-fived and praised, "Cheng Yinuo introduced me to a security company that will build a vault under my villa. I think it is necessary to build a vault for Chang'an Wenwan Company."
Cheng Mei nodded and said: "I went to the Cheng family's vault. Its security is comparable to that of the National Bank. Since Mr. Zhu built a vault of this level at home, he can just build a relatively simple vault in the company. In the company Store the cheap stuff and store the expensive stuff with you.”
"How much did it cost to build the boss's vault?" Li Xiaobai asked curiously, "Building a similar one in our company would save us the hassle of traveling back and forth."
"33 million."
Zhu Changan took a sip of coffee and calmly gave the answer.
