While eating dinner, in addition to Bawang, Chen Ran and the other four were also discussing the development of the sword factory. Just like many companies when they are just starting out, three or four people at one table had a heated discussion and finally finalized the plan.
, the current sword factory is also just starting out. Although the first business has given them a lot of confidence, everything in the future is unknown. No one can say what they will develop into the sword factory in a few years.
.
Either it ends miserably and fades into silence, or it can lead to rapid success and high spirits.
There were no empty words or delusions during the discussion. Everything was so ordinary, just like many other people.
After dinner, Chen Ran first sent his father-in-law and Master Wu back to the sword factory, and then returned to the villa with Wang Liangbawang. After returning to the villa, he called Chen Ping to discuss the official entry of Chen's restaurant into Tianzhong market. Chen Ran
Ping has been inspecting the Tianzhong Market for the past few days, and he has figured out the details. The general location of the hotel has also been selected. It is in the western suburbs and the North District. Now the government has been vigorously developing these two places.
, the villa Chen Ran bought is also in the western suburbs, and there are other luxury communities. Although there are many restaurants opened in these two places, there are no high-end hotels.
Regarding the family restaurant, Chen Ran only invested money but did not interfere. Let it be regarded as Chen Ping's own business. So after hearing what Chen Ping said, he directly transferred 1,500 yuan to Chen Ping without saying a word.
Ten thousand.
He originally had 20 million in his hand, but today he withdrew another 10 million from the sword factory, making a total of 30 million. After transferring 15 million to Chen Ping, there will only be 15 million left.
It just so happened that he still owed Zhu Feng fifteen million.
Of course, he has no plans to hand over the fifteen million to Zhu Feng for the time being, but is going to keep it as start-up capital for his trip to Tengchong. This time he goes to Tengchong, not just for fun, but for preparation.
I just bet on a batch of wool and get it back.
Now his energy aperture can detect the internal conditions of the original stone. If you bet on stones, there will be no disadvantages. Even if you cannot detect jade in the wool, there is no danger. You will not bet on it. Don't worry. You will make a profit without losing money.
Why don't you do it?
In addition to raising funds, he also made preparations to reserve raw materials for the jade shop he had always planned to open. This trip to Tengchong should be able to open the jade shop.
After finalizing the hotel matter, Chen Ran received a call from Zhang Shuchun. Zhang Shuchun naturally called him to report on the arrangements for his trip to Tengchong.
It's mainly a matter of route and selection.
After hanging up Zhang Shuchun's phone, Chen Ran packed up. In fact, there was nothing to pack. He just put a few changes of clothes in a small box. Thinking that he might participate in the jade carving competition, he also brought the Kunwu knife.
"You want to go too? I'm on a business trip, why are you going with me?"
At seven o'clock in the morning, Chen Ran took his luggage and went out with Bawang and Wang Liang. When the three of them were eating breakfast in the breakfast shop outside, Chen Ran suddenly received a call from Lao Guo. Lao Guo yesterday
He was promoted to deputy secretary of the county party committee. Although Chen Ran did not contribute to him, everyone probably knew that Chen Ran was the reason why he was promoted. This is a person's influence. Once the influence is there, everything can be affected.
People around me, Lao Guo called Chen Ran and asked Chen Ran to come to his house for a meal at noon. Chen Ran was about to leave. Where to go, he could only talk to Lao Guo before he got back. Lao Guo laughed.
After Hehe agreed, he hung up the phone. When he hung up, he probably told Guo Hai that Chen Ran was going to Yunnan for a business trip. But as soon as he hung up, Guo Hai called and said
I'll go with him too.
"Let's go on a trip. I haven't been to Yunnan yet. Have you set off now? Where are you? Wait for me. I'll rush over right away." Guo Hai also wanted to go with him because he was really busy at home.
Now that the business of the bathing center has stabilized, there is no need for him to intervene, so there is nothing left to do.
"Okay, hurry up and find me at the Jade Association." Chen Ran looked at the time. They set off at half past eight. It was only after seven o'clock, so there was still time to get here.
"President Chen, good morning."
"President Chen."
After breakfast, Chen Ran took Bawang and Wang Liang and parted ways. The two took a taxi to the gate of the Jade Association. As soon as they got out of the taxi, the association staff they met quickly greeted him warmly.
, Chen Ran had no choice but to respond to them one by one. When he led Bawang into the courtyard, he was surrounded by people.
The candidates for the trip to Tengchong have been decided, and naturally some people are happy and some are unhappy. If you are selected, you can travel to Yunnan for free. Such opportunities are rare.
Chen Ran came relatively early, and Zhang Shuchun hadn't come yet. He took Bawang to the office first and waited for a while before Zhang Shuchun wandered into his office and greeted him with a playful smile: "Chen Ran
President, morning."
"It's quite early." Chen Ran said angrily, and didn't bother to argue with him. He directly told him about arranging Guo Hai to come in, and then asked him to summon everyone into the conference room.
On this trip to Tengchong, there were a total of eight people from the association, including Chen Ran and Zhang Shuchun.
There are two jade carvers, a jade exploration and testing expert, a deputy secretary-general and two staff, plus Guo Hai and Bawang, there are exactly ten people in the team.
After summoning people to the conference room and talking about the charter, they were ready to leave. As soon as Chen Ran came out of the conference room, a staff member came over with a person.
"Captain Yang, why are you here?" Chen Ran was a little surprised when he saw Yang Shijie coming to the Jade Association.
"Haha." Yang Shijie smiled, then nodded and said, "President Chen, I was ordered to protect you."
"Protect me?" Chen Ran was a little funny. Why did Yang Shijie come to protect him for no reason? He didn't need anyone else to protect him. Even if he did, there would always be an overlord following him.
Yang Shijie had obviously thought of this, and looked a little embarrassed, but he still answered without hesitation: "I am carrying out the mission under the orders of Captain Tang, and my mission is to protect the safety of your trip to Yunnan."
Chen Ran was startled, and he was a little confused. How did Brother Tang know that he was going to Yunnan? And he sent someone to protect him?
"Oh, I remembered, President Chen, this should have been arranged by the old man. He seemed to have mentioned it to me and asked the armed police team to send two armed policemen to follow us to take care of our safety."
At this time, Zhang Shuchun, who was standing aside, suddenly remembered what was going on, because when he got there, he had to rely on the old man's connections. When he arranged this matter, he had to communicate with the old man. The old man seemed to mention it at the last moment.
After a while, I asked the armed police team to send two armed policemen to follow. After all, Tengchong is already at the border, and it is a bit chaotic over there.
"That's it..." Chen Ran nodded. After hearing what Zhang Shuchun said, he probably guessed what was going on. It was probably that the old man wanted the armed police team to send two armed police to follow him, but the news reached Brother Tang.
Brother Tang heard that he was going to follow him, so he sent Yang Shijie.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Captain Yang." Chen Ran thought that he was going to Tengchong to transport a batch of wool and needed manpower to help him, so he agreed. While agreeing, he couldn't help but think again.
He thought about recruiting security guards. He had always wanted to recruit a group of reliable security guards. As a result, he had been delayed until now and had not recruited anyone yet. When he came back from Tengchong, he would have to take care of this matter.
Yang Shijie did not come alone, but also brought four armed policemen. Chen Ran had seen them all when he had a drink with Tang Jianzhong last time, so he was no stranger to them. Naturally, these armed policemen also respected him very much.
About ten minutes passed before Guo Haicai came over to kill him in a furious manner.
It was almost 8:40 at this time. Since the train was at 8:58, there was no need to talk much. When Guo Hai arrived, a group of fifteen people got into a taxi and went directly to the train station.
Because there is no airport in Tianzhong City, the group first took a train to Nandu. After waiting in the waiting hall of Nandu Airport for more than 20 minutes, they boarded the plane to Baoshan City.
Baoshan City is the prefecture-level city of Tengchong County. Generally speaking, if it is not a provincial capital, prefecture-level cities rarely have airports. Even if they do, the scale is not large, but Baoshan City is an exception.
Speaking of which, Baoshan Airport is the first prefecture-level local civil aviation station established by the Civil Aviation Administration of China in the country.
The reason for this is naturally due to the special characteristics of Baoshan City. Baoshan has historically been a trading fortress and a distribution center for materials from a foreign land.
Baoshan has a profound history and culture and numerous historical relics, including the rugged and majestic Silk Road, the famous Burma Road during World War II, the Songshan Battle site, and numerous temples and temples, such as the ancient Lihuawu temple and ancient buildings.
Jade Emperor Pavilion, Temple of the Reclining Buddha, the largest place to pay homage to the Jade Buddha in the country...
Baoshan City is the place on the border with Myanmar. Ancient business travelers used horses, camels and even manpower to carry silk, cloth, porcelain, ironware, lacquerware, and tea to various places in India and Myanmar. They also brought back gems, pearls, seashells, and colored glaze.
When it comes to sales, Baoshan City is an important transit point.
Moreover, in Tengchong County, a subsidiary of Baoshan City, there is the largest jadeite wool wholesale market in the country. Jewelers from major cities across the country gather here, which is the most important economic pillar of Baoshan and Tengchong.
The destination of Chen Ran and his party is Tengchong, Baoshan City. The third national "Bian He Cup" Jade Sculpture Competition in Tengchong will be held in two days.
