After Zhang He's matter was temporarily settled, Lin Ming continued to contact Zhou Qian.
However, after a phone call and some discussion, Zhou Qian was unwilling to accept any more money from Lin Ming. Even though Lin Ming made it clear that he wanted to invest more, Zhou Qian declined in the end.
Zhou Qian even thought that Lin Ming was in such a hurry to invest that he had encountered some problem.
This also forced Lin Ming to give up.
"Lin Ming, what delicious food did you cook this morning?" At this moment, Gong Weiwei came downstairs. This woman's work and rest time is basically irregular.
As a flight attendant, you basically work several shifts and don't have a fixed time to rest.
This also leads to the fact that these girls who are flight attendants are not in a good physical and mental state. However, Gong Weiwei is quite punctual today and even got up early in the morning.
"It's still like that, millet porridge, do you want it?"
Lin Ming smiled faintly and handed a bowl of millet porridge to the kitchen counter.
"Well, it's really delicious." Gong Weiwei was not polite, she sat down and started eating.
Lin Ming looked at the woman in front of him and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to introduce me to some master carving collectors?"
Hearing this, Gong Weiwei came back to her senses, pursed her lips, and then said: "Ah, yes, if you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten about it. I have already sent this sculpture of yours to others, but
I can't guarantee whether others will come to you."
Hearing this, Lin Ming smiled sarcastically, and it seemed that he was probably drunk.
Alas, women are indeed unreliable.
As if she noticed the disappointment on Lin Ming's face, Gong Weiwei couldn't help but muttered: "No, what's your expression? Don't you believe I've told you? I also learned about carving yesterday.
If a line is made by a master, any one item can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions. It is impossible for people to come to you directly without even knowing how good your craftsmanship is, right?"
Lin Ming smiled when he heard this, shook his head slightly, and said nothing more.
What Gong Weiwei said is indeed reasonable.
How can a person go to someone else to do something for him without knowing the other person, and the order is worth hundreds of thousands or even millions?
As long as people are not stupid and don't eat too much to make ends meet with money, they will do this.
But, does Lin Ming need these hundreds of thousands or millions?
No need at all, all he needs is to learn more about this industry through such a medium, and then make investments.
But now it seems that I can only give up on carving this piece for the time being.
After all, the understanding is not deep enough.
But what still gives Lin Ming hope is the antique gambling stone.
Especially gambling on stones.
The profits from this are terrifying to the point of outrageous. After all, he is the only person like Lin Ming himself who has plug-in bugs.
Most people still want to get rich overnight, and then throw a lot of money into it, but in the end, they don't even get a blister.
"I understand, Weiwei, you eat first and I'll go check on the children."
With that said, Lin Ming walked directly upstairs.
"Hey, Lin Ming..."
Seeing Lin Ming leaving, Gong Weiwei thought that Lin Ming was disappointed, and became a little anxious at the moment. Finally, when she saw that Lin Ming stopped talking to her, she curled her lips in anger.
Arriving upstairs, Lin Ming found that the seven little ones were still sleeping soundly.
Look at the time, it's only half past six in the morning.
I woke up much earlier today than usual, all because of money.
Seeing the little ones sleeping soundly, Lin Ming also went to the balcony on the second floor, and then began to look for the business cards he had received in Antique Street.
Finally, he directly found the business cards of Wang Defa and two other older generation figures with equal status.
In addition to Wang Defa, one of the other two people is a businessman who specializes in antique auctions, named Chen Gui. He owns such a large antique auction house and has a net worth of about 20 billion.
The remaining person is the owner of the largest of the three stone gambling shops on Antique Street. His name is Tang Hong, and his net worth is over 15 billion.
As for Wang Defa, there is no need to say more. Although Lin Ming does not know how much money this old man has, Lin Ming knows that this old guy is definitely not simple.
Seeing that it was still early, Lin Ming was not in a hurry to call to inquire, but waited patiently.
After ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Ming handed over the seven little ones who woke up to Aunt Zhao to take care of them, and then he felt at ease and picked up his mobile phone to make a call.
The first person I contacted was the unfathomable person Wang Defa.
I dialed the phone and was quickly answered.
"Mr. Wang, this is me, Lin Ming. I wonder if the old man still has an impression of me?" Lin Ming immediately started to introduce himself, so that Wang Defa could remember him immediately.
"Lin Ming? Lin Ming who showed off his skills at Gambling Stone Square?" The old man's shocked voice came from the phone.
Lin Ming smiled awkwardly. There was a system bug in him before, but now there is no more. If he were allowed to gamble on stones again, he would definitely lose nine times out of ten.
However, Lin Ming's ambition this time is not to gamble on stones, but to open a stone gambling workshop or mine them from the source.
"Thank you, old man, for remembering me."
Lin Ming smiled and then said: "I'm calling you now. I won't disturb you, right?"
When Wang Defa heard this, he immediately laughed: "No, no, you suddenly called me. Do you want to gamble on stones again? That's fine, old man, I have nothing to do today. I just want to see your young reserve again."
When Lin Ming heard this, he hurriedly explained.
"No, no, no, this time I am not going to gamble on stones again, but I want to engage in the industry of stone gambling. To be more specific, I want to invest in this industry, but I don't know much about it, so
, I wanted to find a senior person as a consultant, so the first thing I thought of was you."
"So, when I called you this time, I came specifically to see you."
"consultant?"
When Wang Defa heard Lin Ming's words, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said: "Do you want to engage in the stone gambling industry?"
"Yes, I wonder how much it would cost to ask you, old man, to be my consultant?" Lin Ming asked.
If he wants to start a career in the stone gambling industry, he must have someone who is proficient in this industry to advise him. There is no doubt that in Lin Ming's heart, Wang Defa is the first choice.
"Do you really want to hire me as a consultant?"
Wang Defa did not agree in a hurry, nor did he refuse immediately. Instead, he confirmed it again.
