Chapter 034
As he walked along, he kept mumbling. I still don't know why the old man, the second uncle, is so nervous.
Isn't he just a businessman who comes to sell pearls, or was he introduced by Yingshi? Is it necessary to be so nervous and pay attention to it?
It turned out that yesterday evening, Chen Qimei came to Chen Zongyu's residence in Shaoxing, and attentively accompanied her second uncle to drink a few glasses of Shaoxing rice wine and have dinner.
During the dinner, he took out the pearl given by Chen Tianhua for his second uncle Chen Zongyu and eldest brother Chen Qiye to watch.
Chen Zongyu is the helmsman of the pearl industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He is a real expert. He can tell at a glance that this is a rare treasure.
"Yingshi, where did this chicken blood red pearl come from?"
"Returning to my second uncle, this is a new friend my nephew made at the Chinese and Western School. Yesterday I had lunch with Mr. He Qing and Supervisor Wenxiong in the school. During the dinner, he gave it to me."
Chen Qimei said lightly.
Chen Zongyu is a businessman who attaches great importance to old ideas. He opposes any new learning and reformism, but advocates traditional Confucianism and populism.
Therefore, he objected to Yingshi being with Cai Heqing. Why bother? He had always hoped that his nephew would follow him in business.
Who knows that Chen Qimei has completely different ambitions from her eldest brother Qiye.
He is smart and studious, heroic and righteous. His ambition is the future development and progress of the country, and he believes that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country.
Therefore, he only studied at Yueming School in East Lake, Shaoxing for half a year. He still regretted that his uncle gave him the position of supervisor of the Zhuji Jewelry Factory, so he followed Cai Heqing to become a teacher at the Chinese and Western School.
This made Chen Zongyu so angry that he almost came to Cai Heqing's door to discuss the matter.
Just think about it later, everyone has their own ambitions, and forceful behavior is not sweet.
"Yingshi, your friend is generous and generous. This rare natural chicken blood red pearl is worth at least five hundred oceans in my uncle's opinion. It can be made into a pendant in a lady's gold jewelry. It is rare... rare."
Chen Zongyu took out a magnifying glass from the pocket of his robe, looked at it carefully, and admired it.
"Since my second uncle appreciates it so much, it is said that he still has dozens of them. Are you willing to buy them?"
"Oh, I can't ask for such a good thing. Yingshi, what's his name? Go and invite him. My second uncle will buy it at a high price."
"His name is Chen Tianhua..."
"Chen... Tianhua... never heard of it." As soon as Chen Qimei announced her name, Chen Zongyu frowned and hummed.
The supplier who possesses dozens of rare pearls must be a famous figure, or at least a rising star.
Why have I never heard of this famous name?
"Does he have any other aliases, nicknames or aliases?" Chen Zongyu asked.
"Second uncle, there is no need to think hard. This is his first time in this business. Of course you have never heard of it, let alone met him. I have made an appointment with him on behalf of my second uncle to come to your East Lake Yueming tomorrow morning.
go."
"Okay... It's good that Yingshi does things quickly. This pleases my second uncle. I'll be waiting for him in the store early tomorrow morning. You can bring him here then."
"Um…"
"Come on, let's have a drink together, uncle and nephew."
…
Last night, Chen Zongyu was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
He recently received a batch of jewelry orders from Southeast Asia, but he lacked a stunning pendant that could be the finishing touch.
And such rare natural jewelry, there are said to be more than 40 of them, is really timely.
Chen Zongyu is a shopping mall veteran, and he is very good at entertaining customers. He is such a heavyweight supplier of raw materials, and it is the first time to meet him. As the host, of course it is only proper etiquette to go to the store to greet him first.
Otherwise, if this kind of arrogance and rudeness spreads, he will be disgraced and laughed at by people in the world.
It just so happened that some of the nurses who were on duty at the store last night were on vigil because the leader of the nursing home passed away. Everyone celebrated the leader's birthday that night. After drinking and drinking too much, they fell asleep and didn't get up in time in the morning.
Only one of them drank a little. After waking up, he was getting up and lazily tidying up the bed and bedding.
The rest of the nursing homes were just lying in bed and making no movement.
Because it was too early to leave the store, the Western wall clock in the main hall of the store only struck eight o'clock in the morning.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
After working on it for a long time, I took off the panel of the small door and took a look. The clerk exclaimed: "Young shopkeeper... and the eldest... eldest shopkeeper... are you here so early?"
"What? The big shopkeeper is here?"
The big shopkeeper and the young shopkeeper knocked on the door and entered the store early in the morning. The nursing staff were suddenly startled and their faces turned pale with fright.
What happened? The shopkeepers suddenly came to inspect? This has never happened before?
The unlucky ones who were lying on the bed were even more frightened. With a sound of "Boom...", they all rolled off the bed and knelt on the ground, trembling and kowtowing to beg for mercy.
As soon as Chen Zongyu entered the store, a strong smell of alcohol hit his nostrils. The counters in the store were littered with cups and plates. He became furious:
"Chen Qinshi, what's going on? It's simply lawless. You are too neglectful!"
He glared at Chen Qiye angrily, said "Humph..." and walked straight into the shopkeeper's office with his hands behind his back.
Chen Qiye looked embarrassed.
He is lazy, indecisive, and not decisive in doing things. He is not the kind of vigorous and resolute person, so he has always been despised by his second uncle.
Early this morning, I was scolded by my uncle as soon as I opened my eyes. I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the store... I was really unlucky.
Chen Qiye had a rare thunderbolt today and vented his anger on those bastards...
The night watchmen patrolling a jewelry store were drunk collectively, which is a serious dereliction of duty. According to industry regulations, the job of the person mainly responsible will be knocked off, and the rest of the personnel will have to have their monthly salary deducted at least.
In order to make up for the mistake, several nursing homes were busy cleaning up the scene while waiting at the door.
I heard that the big shopkeeper came to the jewelry store to wait for the VIPs in advance.
Coincidentally, when the nursing staff saw Chen Tianhua walking towards the door of the store, they were a little confused at first, but when they got closer, they took a closer look... What's going on?
Looks familiar.
"Oh, isn't this the little K who scouted for some Nanyang boss last time?"
"Oh, right... I guess the big shopkeeper is here to wait for the Nanyang boss."
Seeing several nurses at the door of the store looking at him and whispering among themselves, Chen Tianhua stepped forward in confusion and was about to ask.
Unexpectedly, a nurse came to greet me flatteringly, "You are here, young sir. Our chief shopkeeper is waiting for you in the store."
Chen Tianhua was stunned for a moment.
He came here to discuss business with Chen Qimei's second uncle. How did these nursing homes know? And they recognized him at a glance.
It's really strange.
He was thinking in his mind, but without stopping, he followed the nurse and ducked through the small door and entered the shop.
"Oh, the arrival of distinguished guests makes the shop shine... This person..."
Chen Tianhua had just stepped into the store door and before he could stand firmly, he heard a deep and powerful sound coming from the right side.
He suddenly turned his head and looked to the right, and saw two well-dressed men, one behind the other, hurriedly walking out of the house, still talking politely.
But when they got in front of them, both of them were stunned, their mouths wide open, but neither could speak.
