On November 15, Lu Cheng came to the "Minghu Jade Workshop" again, brought a batch of mutton-fat white jade, and asked the other party to process it into jade.
Hao Meiyu was surprised when she saw the jade material: "This is excellent mutton-fat white jade, which is often made into ornaments or handles. Are you willing to use it to make bracelets and pendants?"
Lu Cheng smiled slightly: "I'll bring the jade material over here, and you'll watch the processing! You'll also be responsible for the jade sales! I'll just collect the money."
"Every fragment of this kind of jade is valuable. Thank you for trusting us to leave it to our store."
"By the way, I would like to ask if your store is short of funds? I am willing to invest in the Jade Factory, with any amount of shares. I can provide jade materials and make long-term jade transactions."
"This... let me think about it."
As for Lu Cheng, he has 700 to 800 tons of Hetian jade and 280 pieces of raw jadeite. It is impossible to make all of this jade into jade talismans. He wants to sell half of it, but he can't push it out in one go.
Therefore, it is not a bad thing to invest in Minghu Jade Factory, process it slowly, and sell it slowly.
As for Hao Meiyu, the Minghu Jade Shop is not large in scale. In recent years, it has become more and more difficult to source jade materials. In the long run, it has become more and more difficult to do business. Ever since Lu Cheng provided jade materials, her life has become more comfortable.
.
Moreover, Hao Meiyu has done a brief research on Lu Cheng and knows that he is the most famous Olympic champion in the country and the largest shareholder of Daqin Technology. If this person buys a stake in Minghu Jade Factory, it will be a rare opportunity for her.<
/p>
So, after some consideration, Hao Meiyu bargained with Lu Cheng and finally decided that Lu Cheng would invest 78 million yuan and occupy 50% of the shares of Minghu Jade Factory. The two parties agreed that Lu Cheng would provide 500 kilograms of mutton-fat white jade and 100 kilograms of mutton-fat white jade every year.
The price of one kilogram of ice-grown jade material is 70% of the market price. In addition to processing these jade materials into jade articles, Minghu Jade Workshop can also receive materials from outside for processing.
In this way, both parties cooperate and establish a stable relationship. Lu Cheng will not worry about the other party swallowing the jade materials he provides, but will also have a steady stream of income.
He doesn't have much cash in hand, and he wants to further increase his stake in Daqin Technology. His current shareholding ratio is 24.4%, and it will be safe to increase it to 34%.
The absolute control line is 67%. The relative control line is 51%. The safety control line is 34%. The shareholding is more than 1/3, with one-vote veto power.
The current stock price of Daqin Technology is 33 yuan, with a total share capital of 11.188 billion.
If Lu Cheng wants to hold 34% of the stocks, he will need a huge amount of funds, at least 30 to 40 billion yuan. And as long as he buys shares and the stock price continues to rise, he will need even more funds.
Lu Cheng felt that he was very poor: "Daqin Technology is not a big company, so why is it so difficult for me to control the company? If I had known this, I should have chosen an unlisted company."
Now that things have come to this, he can only think blindly and there is no way he can go back.
Lu Cheng calculated his wealth. In addition to jade auctions, he also had profits from furniture stores, endorsements from sports stars, and income from amulets.
"By the way, I brought back a batch of sandalwood and agarwood last time and gave it to my father to deal with. I don't know what happened next."
He called his father to inquire about the follow-up progress of the matter.
Lu Tianming replied: "According to your suggestion, I hired a professional manager named 'Miao Renfang'. She came forward to set up a 'Daicheng Fragrance Co., Ltd.', rented a factory building, bought machinery, and invited
We have lost workers and have just started producing spices, but we haven’t had time to sell them to the outside world yet.”
Lu Cheng said: "So that's it."
He thought his father would sell sandalwood and agarwood, but he didn't expect his father to be so "greedy" that he directly established a spice factory.
"Dad, how much did it cost to set up a spice factory?"
"More than 30 million, the scale is not large. Sandalwood essential oil can be extracted."
"A small workshop is fine, as long as the products are high-quality, cheap and beautiful." Lu Cheng believed in his father's ability, so he hung up the phone and stopped caring about the matter.
Lu Cheng and Minghu Jade Shop agreed to provide 500 kilograms of mutton-fat white jade every year. In addition to mutton-fat white jade, he also had topaz, red jade and jasper. The price of jasper is not more expensive than white jade, but topaz and red jade are much more expensive than white jade. Therefore,
He made an agreement with Yang Guangchang of Hanhai Auction House to auction topaz and ruby twice a year, with twenty or thirty kilograms of jade material each time.
Although topaz and ruby are very expensive in the market, in the final analysis it is still the old saying: "Things are rare and valuable." If too many are released at once, they will not be sold at a high price.
On the morning of November 20, a black car came outside Lu Cheng's house, and five people got out of it. Two of them stood outside the gate, and three of them walked in.
Lu Cheng specially took a day off and stayed at home to receive these people.
Jiang Qiuyun went to school.
The three of them sat down in the living room. The first was an old man, about sixty years old, named "Han Mingzhe"; the second was a middle-aged man, about forty-five years old, named "Qi Jiang"; the third was a middle-aged man, about forty-five years old, named "Qi Jiang";
The three are women, about thirty-five years old, named "Wu Qingqing".
These three are all experts in ancient writing and come from research institutions in Shangjing.
Last time, Lu Cheng not only presented the method of making the amulet, but also presented the "Basic Runes" with two thousand words. These people came to ask him for advice on the "Basic Runes".
Although the "Basic Runes" submitted by Lu Cheng contained simple annotations and simplified Chinese character comparisons, these people still encountered many problems during the research process.
Lu Cheng spent most of the day explaining the runes to them and answering their questions.
It wasn't until Jiang Qiuyun returned home at 4:30 in the afternoon that these people gave up temporarily.
Wu Qingqing smiled and said to Jiang Qiuyun: "Congratulations, Miss Jiang, your novel "Catkins Rises in the Wind" has participated in the selection of the Mao Dun Literary Award and has now entered the top ten. Teacher Han and I are both judges. I am very happy to see you so young.
writer."
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said: "Thank you very much. What do you call me?"
"Wu Qingqing, from the Institute of Linguistics, Academy of Social Sciences."
"Teacher Wu, are you so young? I am studying ancient music, and you are the deputy editor!"
"This is Teacher Han Mingzhe, a professor at Renmin University; this is Teacher Qi Jiang, a professor of ancient Chinese at Peking University."
"Oh, we are all seniors, good teachers!"
Han Mingzhe and Qi Jiang just smiled and nodded, then stood up to leave.
Wu Qingqing said to Lu Cheng: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for patiently teaching the runes. We will probably come again next month."
Lu Cheng said calmly: "Welcome."
He regarded this matter as work, as after-sales service for "Basic Runes". Although teaching runes was considered a service to the country, he did not teach it wholeheartedly. If the other party had any questions, he would answer them.
If he didn't ask, he wouldn't take the initiative to mention it.
Because the way of runes is vast and profound, there is no end to studying this thing.
Runes are the foundation for him to settle down and live his life. Just like the Buddha said, Buddhism should not be taught lightly! Tang Monk, if you want to learn Buddhism, you can just get a purple gold alms bowl in exchange!
Wu Qingqing is also smart and knows how to build a good relationship with Jiang Qiuyun so that she won't be embarrassed next time she comes.
The two old guys, Han Mingzhe and Qi Jiang, thought they were here under orders, as if Lu Cheng owed them something.
Lu Cheng was too lazy to wait, so he only provided a few bottles of mineral water and didn't even bother to get tea.
