After resting all night, Chu Heng went out early and took a taxi to a warehouse in the suburbs of Paris that he had rented in advance from Citigroup.
"Thanks."
After paying the money and getting out of the car, Chu Heng took out the key and went to the warehouse, opened the door and went in.
The warehouse is not big, only about a thousand square meters, and it is completely empty, not even a rat droppings can be seen.
After he walked around inside, he suddenly waved his hand, and more than ten large wooden boxes appeared out of thin air. Then Chu Heng stepped forward and opened the boxes one by one. Inside, there were pieces of exquisite and simple porcelain. Looking at the style alone, it was basically
Covering every dynasty in China, from the celadon glaze of the Warring States Period to the official kilns of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it can be said that everything is included.
However, these are all fake. In order to set up a game for Ben Shaming, Chu Heng asked Zhang Yiyi and Yan Muze to summon several skilled craftsmen. It took them half a year to produce this batch of high imitation antiques, which are of excellent workmanship.
, enough to deceive many experts in the industry, not to mention a half-hearted foreigner like Benshamin.
After checking that there was no problem, Chu Heng immediately came out of the warehouse and contacted Yao Conggu.
That afternoon.
Benshamin, who went to inspect his family's clothing factory, took the car back home.
As soon as Fang entered the house, he saw his sister and an elegant and restrained white young man sitting in the living room of his house, talking to his wife.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on his face.
Benshamin's sister's private life has always been very chaotic. The male companions around her are like clothes, they have to be changed from time to time, and the ones they find are all crooked ones, none of which he can like.
The only exception is the man in front of me, a young man named Carl Parker, a Citi native, whose father is a banker and graduated from the University of Washington.
Both his family background and academic qualifications are commendable, and his abilities are also very good. Not only does he run a trading company, but he also has good connections. After Ben Shaming's sister brought him back, he
It has brought many benefits to the Abel family.
Take Benshamin himself as saying that first of all, his clothing factory received several large orders through Karl's introduction. In addition, he also met a private equity fund company through Karl. The returns on several investments have been very good recently.
He is planning to increase investment.
It is also because of this that Ben Shaming feels that his sister has matured...well, she only matured in her thirties, and she belongs to the cactus family.
"You're back, Benshamin."
When his wife saw him coming in, she stood up with a smile, picked up a bottle with a beautifully packaged wooden box from the table, and said, "Look what Karl brought us?"
"Hi, Benshamin." Karl also stood up and greeted.
Only his sister sat there lazily and didn't move. She just raised her hand to signal. The brother and sister had not dealt with each other since they were young, so they just waved their hands to him.
"Good afternoon, Karl." Benshaming had become accustomed to his sister's virtues and ignored her. He greeted Karl with a smile and walked towards his wife: "What good thing is it?"
"Glow-in-the-dark cup collector's edition, Karl knows you want it, and it took a lot of help to get a bottle." His wife smiled and handed the box over.
"Oh?" Ben Shaming took it over in surprise. He had always been interested in Chinese culture. Some time ago, he heard that Citi had a red wine that was inherited from the Chinese Tang Dynasty, so he asked someone to get a few bottles to try.
, the other models are not difficult to find, but this is the only rare collector's model, and he searched many people but couldn't get it.
Especially after trying several gold, silver, and copper wines, he really liked the luminous cup, so he has always been thinking about the collector's model. Unexpectedly, he finally got his wish today.
"Thank you, Karl." Benshamin patted Karl's arm happily.
"It's a little early for you to thank me now." Karl blinked and said with a smile: "I have a friend who is in the handicraft business. He recently got a batch of Chinese antique porcelain from Hong Kong Island. It is said that they are all very good.
Nice boutique. I know you like Chinese antiques, so I asked him to keep the things for me. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Of course, of course I'm interested." Ben Shaming was immediately happy and asked quickly: "Where is the thing? I'll go take a look."
"It's in Paris. If you want it, I'll just ask him to ship it over directly."
"Isn't it troublesome?"
"It's fine."
"Then send it over. If there's nothing wrong with the item, I'm willing to pay a high price for it!" Benshamin, who had made a lot of money recently, assured with confidence.
"Okay, I'll get in touch right away." Karl smiled slightly, turned around to find a phone, and called Yao Conggu who was in Chinatown.
When he came back, Benshamin couldn't wait to open the wine. Seeing him coming over, he handed him a glass of wine and asked, "How was it?"
"He came over with something after an hour." Karl took the wine glass, smelled it first, then took a sip, and then commented: "It's not surprisingly good, I can taste an earthy fragrance, and the taste is also special.
It’s smooth and lives up to its name.”
"There is also a sense of history." Ben Shaming squinted his eyes and smacked his lips, giving a great affirmation: "It seems that there will be an upstart on the world's famous wine list!"
"Speaking of which, are you interested in being an agent for luminous cups?" Carl saw the opportunity and said, "I know a wine distributor from Citigroup, and he has a very good relationship with Tina Company, which controls import channels. If you are interested, I can
Ask for the agency rights for the Luminous Cup."
"Oh, my God, you are really my lucky star, Carl." Benshamin has two companies under his name, one is a clothing manufacturer, has its own brand and also does OEM work, and the other is a wine distribution company.
It holds the agency rights for several European and American brands of wine.
The Luminous Cup is so popular now, so he is naturally interested, and immediately said: "Of course I am interested, I have a hunch, Karl, the Luminous Cup is likely to become a top-notch wine no less than Lafite, Mouton, etc."
.”
"I think so too." Karl nodded and smiled: "Then I will contact you as soon as possible."
"Okay, please."
The two clinked glasses, and Ben Shaming was even more satisfied when he saw his well-dressed brother-in-law-to-be. If his sister dared to break up now, he would definitely whip her to death with a riding crop!
Then the two of them drank and chatted, discussing matters at the private equity fund company. Unknowingly, more than an hour later, a large truck drove into Benshamin's manor.
"Sorry, something happened on the way, so I'm a little late."
A middle-aged white man got out of the car with an apology on his face.
"You don't have to be like this. It's normal. Life is full of surprises." Karl stepped forward and hugged him, and then introduced Benshamin. After a few polite words, Benshamin became impatient.
He got into the carriage and opened the outermost wooden box in the carriage.
Inside is a box full of porcelain, each piece of which is extremely exquisite.
