"What are you celebrating? Is there any good news again?"
Li Yang first helped Wang Jiajia order a meal, and then ordered a steak for himself. Then he looked at Zheng Kaida with a smile and asked.
"It's not our company's business, it's Sima and Lao Zhang's business!" Zheng Kaida said hurriedly.
Their auction company's business has been booming recently. In mid-November, they will cooperate with An's to conduct their first jewelry auction. In addition, there will be an additional auction in December, which is no less than the first auction.
It is not easy for a newly established company to hold large-scale auctions every month. In addition to these large-scale auctions, Sima Lin has also organized several counterpart auctions, mainly auctioning properties that have been confiscated by the court. The proceeds from such auctions
The auction company can only take a small share, but if there are too many, the benefits will be very considerable, and it can also increase the company's auction volume and improve its reputation.
It's just that the celebration Zheng Kaida mentioned this time is indeed not their company's business.
After Zheng Kaida spoke, Sima Lin slowly explained to Li Yang, and Zhang Wei also added a few words from time to time.
Sima Lin started an auction company purely to make money, unlike Zheng Kaida who also had a hobby in it. Zheng Kaida's hobby was antiques, while Sima Lin's hobby was gambling on stones.
After the auction company officially opened, Sima Lin gradually became much more relaxed. The company's long-term preparations showed results. After the opening, all the work and business became very stable. Sima Lin's original work had been completed, but now it has become more...
It's very relaxing.
Sima Lin is not a person who can sit idle. When he has time, he wonders if he is working on something. Anyway, he is relieved that Zheng Kaida is in charge of the company.
It happened that Zhang Wei approached him at this time and wanted to partner with him to open a shop specializing in stone gambling in Zhengzhou. First, he could sell some gambling stones, and second, he could also collect some good jade materials for his small shop.
Nowadays, good jade raw materials are becoming more and more difficult to collect. Zhang Wei has used his inventory and untied a batch of wool, but the effect is not good. This has a lot to do with Li Yang. Good stone wool.
They were all picked out by Li Yang, and it would be surprising if the remaining ones could unlock good jadeite.
Li Yang knew this when he came back last time. He also took out some jade from the garage and sold some to Zhang Wei. They were all medium jade, and there were also two smaller pieces of egg white. If it hadn't been for Li Yang's last time
Relief, now it is estimated that Zhang Wei has run out of supply.
Zhang Wei is deeply worried about this. He knows that sooner or later if he continues like this, his small store will be finished. Without raw materials, it is impossible to operate, unless it only sells B and C goods, but in this case, his own brand will be ruined.
, if there are no customers in the future, it will be the same.
Under the huge crisis, Zhang Wei began to think about countermeasures, and finally came up with the idea of opening a professional stone betting shop.
The biggest advantage of a professional stone gambling shop is that it does not need to spend too much money on storing gambling stones. If you open a stone gambling shop, there will definitely be someone to analyze the stones. Zhang Wei will then buy the jade they extracted, so you don't have to analyze the stones yourself.
Whatever risks you take, you can also provide a stable channel for supply.
Even if only half of the customers who unlocked the jade were willing to sell it, Zhang Wei wouldn't have to worry about future supply.
After having this idea, Zhang Wei discussed it with Wang Haomin. Wang Haomin was more lacking in raw materials than Zhang Wei. After hearing Zhang Wei's strategy, Wang Haomin immediately clapped his hands and agreed.
The two of them did what they said. There weren't that many stone gambling players in Mingyang, so it would be impossible to open a stone gambling shop in this place. Besides, Zhang Wei was the headquarters of the Jade Association. Anyone who wanted to do stone gambling in Mingyang would go to him.
, there is no need to open a professional stone betting shop.
Both Zhang Wei and Wang Haomin set their sights on other big cities. Wang Haomin had some connections in Wuhan, so he decided to open a small stone gambling shop in Wuhan, while Zhang Wei chose Zhengzhou.
After arriving in Zhengzhou, Zhang Wei discussed with Zheng Kaida and Sima Lin. It would be better if he could recruit someone to form a partnership.
In fact, Zhang Wei's best partner is Li Yang. It's a pity that Li Yang is too famous now and has never seen the light of day. Zhang Wei is really not sure about opening a stone betting shop with Li Yang.
The stone gambling shop is far behind their auction company. The stone gambling shop planned by Zhang Wei in Zhengzhou can be opened with an investment of only 8 million, and more than 6 million of the 8 million is for preliminary preparations.
The stone gambling store can't do without the funds to purchase goods.
The remaining one million yuan is for decoration and rent.
Zheng Kaida had no interest in the stone gambling shop, but Sima Lin and Zhang Wei hit it off immediately, and immediately agreed to cooperate with Zhang Wei to open this stone gambling shop. Stone gambling was Sima Lin's biggest hobby.
Although he failed to win over Li Yang, Zhang Wei was very satisfied with being able to cooperate with Sima Lin. At least he no longer needed to inquire about trivial matters concerning Zhengzhou officials in the future.
After the cooperation intention was reached, the following things became much simpler. As soon as Sima Lin's funds were received, Zhang Wei started to work. Cuiyuxuan was first left to the care of his family.
The Gambling Stone Store is just a shop, and it is much easier to open than a company. Zhang Wei found a storefront with a backyard on Huayuan Road and rented it. Then he found a decoration company to carry out simple decoration. A professional Gambling Stone Store does not sell jade, and the decoration is
There is no need for any special specifications.
The decoration was completed in a few days. Zhang Wei and Sima Lin went to Yingjiang again, where they brought back the first batch of more than 4 million goods. After selling some of these goods, they raised the funds to 3 million.
Will go get another batch.
With these supply sources supporting them, their stone betting shop can continue to operate smoothly.
Zhang Wei and Sima Lin just came back this morning. Zheng Kaida called on several company employees to come over and help. After unloading the goods, the company people all went back. Zheng Kaida and the others came to eat at this Western restaurant nearby.
The restaurant is the best place around.
According to Zheng Kaida and Sima Lin's habits, they naturally have to go to the best place to eat. Unlike Li Yang, they can go anywhere, as long as they can eat enough.
After listening to Sima Lin's introduction and Zhang Wei's addition, Li Yang finally understood what was going on.
The two guys didn't intend to make money when they cooperated in business. Zhang Wei didn't say it for now. After all, he was working for his real business. It didn't matter whether the stone betting shop made money or not.
Sima Lin did it purely for his own convenience. Sima Lin's gambling addiction is very big. Every month he doesn't touch the gambling stones, he feels itchy. Mingyang will come to Zhengzhou without him. If Zhengzhou doesn't like it, he will go to Pingzhou.
, when I go to Yunnan, I have to spend a lot of money to enjoy myself anyway.
Sima Lin opened this stone gambling shop just to make it convenient for himself. After all, he is the boss and he can decide what kind of good wool he wants to buy. This way, he has the conditions to play stone gambling openly. But Zhang Wei only came here for the raw materials.
Of course, the better the performance of the wool, the better, so the chance of success will be much greater.
Li Yang still doesn't understand this. He invested millions just for his own convenience. Li Yang can't do such a thing himself.
If you don’t understand, you still have to congratulate me. This stone gambling store has not officially opened yet. As the first professional stone gambling store in Zhengzhou, the opening ceremony must be lively.
According to the two people's plan, the opening ceremony will be held ten days later. They will conduct trial operations during these days to see if there are any shortcomings.
"Brother Sima, Mr. Zhang, I may not be in Zhengzhou in ten days, and I won't be able to attend your opening ceremony by then!"
The waiter brought Li Yang's steak, and Li Yang filled up his wine glass with wine. He raised his wine glass and said to Sima Lin and Zhang Wei that if he went to ***, he would definitely not be able to come back within ten days.
.
"It's okay. You are busy with your business. Just come over and play when you have the chance. But since I met you today, you have to give us a good start and let us take a photo as a souvenir!"
Sima Lin smiled and shook his head. Zhang Wei's eyes also lit up. They just arrived at the stone gambling store today. It is indeed a very good idea to ask Li Yang to give them a good start. If they can find a good jade, I will take a photo with them.
In the store, it will be difficult for their store to become popular in the future.
Li Yang now has a very high status in the stone gambling world, especially in Henan. It can be said that no one can compare with him, not even the real Jade King of Yunnan. Li Yang is from Henan after all.
"That's no problem. Let's go take a look after dinner!"
Li Yang pursed his lips and took a sip of red wine. Sima Lin and Zhang Wei both picked up the wine glasses. Zhang Wei took a big sip. He didn't expect that he would meet Li Yang by such a coincidence just after he arrived today.
This stone betting shop is becoming more and more confident.
With Li Yang and the others joining in, the meal became a lot more lively, especially after they knew that Li Yang and Wang Jiajia were recognized by each other's parents, they all made fun of the two young people together.
There was still a little bit of envy in Sima Lin's eyes. After Governor Liang appeared, he asked someone to inquire carefully and finally learned Wang Jiajia's true identity. If Li Yang could really marry Wang Jiajia, even if He Lao is gone, the country will
No one dares to provoke Li Yang. If he provokes Li Yang, he will offend both the He and Wang families at the same time. This result is not something that ordinary people can bear.
At the same time, Sima Lin also felt that it was a pity. If Li Yang entered politics, his future achievements would definitely be limitless, and it would be very possible for him to achieve even the lowest level of his old man.
There is one thing that Sima Lin himself ignored. If Li Yang really entered politics, he would definitely not have this day. If he had not been exposed to antiques, he would not have known Mr. He. If he did not know Mr. He, no matter how good his relationship with Wang Jiajia was, he would not be dissatisfied by the Wang family.
Accepting it will not only not help him in the end, but may actually harm himself.
Lunch went by very quickly. Li Yang wasn't very interested in Western food. Wang Jiajia only thought of the Western restaurant because of the atmosphere. Now that the romantic atmosphere was gone, she didn't have much interest anymore.
The stone betting shop that Sima Lin and Zhang Wei opened together is really not far away. Diagonally opposite this Western restaurant, there are two storefronts and a backyard. The stone dissolving machine is in the backyard. There is also a second floor,
Now that the second floor has been converted into a warehouse and offices, this store will definitely need to hire a manager to manage it.
