Chapter 697 Tibetan Mastiff
…
"I'm afraid they haven't reached the full moon yet, right?" Liu Dong couldn't help but feel fond of the two little Tibetan mastiffs as they climbed up crookedly, their little noses twitching.
"Well, it has been exactly half a month since the birth!" Looking at these two little Tibetan mastiffs, Zhao Xiaodong seemed to be seeing his own son. The love in his eyes was so deep that even Liu Dong looked at it.
All deeply admired.
After nodding, Liu Dong looked at the two little things that were stumbling and seemed a little quiet because their eyes were blindfolded. One was completely yellow, the other was maroon, with only some white hair on the soles of the feet.
Liu Dong didn't know much about Tibetan Mastiffs, and he didn't know how to tell whether they were pure blood. However, Liu Dong felt that he had a affinity with them and fell in love with them at first sight.
"Xiaodong, how much do these two little mastiffs cost?" Liu Dong said.
"Guess?" Zhao Xiaodong had unconcealable joy on his face.
"100,000?" Liu Dong was not sure, but he thought the price for two Tibetan Mastiff puppies should be quite high.
"100,000? Add a zero in front of 10, and then double it, it's almost the same!"
"Two million, so expensive?"
Seeing Liu Dong's surprised look, Zhao Xiaodong nodded and said proudly: "If it weren't for this, I would have gone to Tibet during the Chinese New Year and wandered around for more than half a year, going through life and death to find them? You know, although these two little Tibetan mastiffs
It’s not as good as my iron-clad Tibetan Mastiff, but it’s also a pure-blooded Tibetan Mastiff, and it’s not comparable to those dog skewers sold in the world today!”
After nodding, Liu Dong looked at the two little Tibetan mastiffs that were not yet full moon and said, "Xiaodong. Do I want these two little Tibetan mastiffs?"
"What? You want it all?" Zhao Xiaodong said in surprise.
Although he had learned about Liu Dong's money-making fortune from his old classmates in the past few days, he still didn't think Liu Dong could afford the luxury of buying two dogs for two million.
Originally, his plan was to choose one of them and sell it to his old classmate at a low price, but then he thought that Liu Dong actually liked them both!
"Xiaodong. Don't say that we are not friends enough. For 500,000, you can take these two little things away!" After hesitating for a while, Zhao Xiaodong gritted his teeth and said.
"I'm very happy that you can say that, but the brothers still have to settle the score. 2 million is just 2 million. I can still afford this amount of money!" Liu Dong patted the other party's shoulder and smiled.
"No, if you do this, aren't you going to slap me in the face? How can our old classmates meet in the future?" Zhao Xiaodong insisted.
"Okay, let's each take a step back. 1 million. If you still disagree, I won't want these two Tibetan mastiffs!"
Seeing the firm expression on Liu Dong's face, Zhao Xiaodong, who understood his character, hesitated and finally agreed.
"Hey, isn't this right? Let's go to the bank to transfer money first, and then we'll go to the bank to have a meal together. I'll treat you this time!" Liu Dong said.
"Haha. Then I would be disrespectful!"
…
After having dinner with Zhao Xiaodong in the evening, Liu Dong drove back to his villa in Wohu Mountain.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
Looking at the incubator in Liu Dong's hand, a middle-aged man about forty years old, neatly dressed and polite came forward.
"Oh, these are the two little Tibetan mastiffs I just bought! By the way, Lao Liang, you can ask the kitchen to get me some milk later. It needs to be warm!" Liu Dong ordered.
This man he called Lao Liang was the British butler provided by Forbidden City Shangpin. He was really capable, and Liu Dong's huge manor was only managed in an orderly manner by this man.
"Yes. I understand, sir! But now there is a guest waiting for you in the front yard!" Lao Liang said with a smile.
"Guest? Who is it?" Liu Dong asked in surprise.
"Chen Yuguang, claims to be the manager of Puhua Red Star Auction House, the company under your name, Master!"
"People are in the front yard and living room?" Liu Dong said.
"yes!"
"I understand, Lao Liang, take him to my study in the middle courtyard. I'll put them down and go there!" Liu Dong said.
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, after Liu Dong put the incubator in the villa where he lived, he came to the study room in the middle courtyard. Generally, the only people who can come here are relatively close friends and subordinates.
"Director Liu?" Seeing Liu Dong come in, Chen Yuguang stood up quickly.
After this period of understanding, he became more and more aware of how amazing the ability of the extremely young boss in front of him was, and what a solid family background he had. Therefore, even though Chen Yuguang came from Hong Kong Business Card University, and had the arrogance of having gorgeous business experience , and dare not show the slightest disrespect in front of his young boss.
"Manager Chen, we are all on our own, and this is not a company, so you don't need to be so polite. Sit down!" Liu Dong waved his hand.
"Yes, boss!" After agreeing, Chen Yuguang sat down next to Liu Dong.
Under the command of Lao Liang, the servants in the manor had automatically brought the tea.
"How is it? Did the company's spring auction go well this time?" Liu Dong said.
"Thanks to your blessing, boss, this time our Puhua Red Star Auction House's spring auction sales exceeded 500 million, with a profit of 45 million! We have surpassed China Guardian and Hanhai, and regained our Puhua Red Star Auction House's position as the domestic industry leader! "Chen Yuguang said with excitement in his tone.
Such achievements were achieved just after he took office. Even with the support of Liu Dong, Chen Yuguang initially secured his position as general manager of Puhua Red Star Auction House.
"By the way, boss, this is Jiang Guandao's "Jiangju Tu" that you asked for. I brought it to you!"
Looking at the cardboard box Chen Yuguang took out, Liu Dong nodded and said, "How much did it cost?"
"26.5 million!"
"Very good!" Liu Dong praised.
Although this price is a bit expensive compared to an ancient painting from the Northern Song Dynasty, it is a lot of money, but it is also good for building the reputation of Puhua Red Star Auction House! After all, this is the finale of the calligraphy and painting auction!
"thank you boss!"
"Don't rush to say thank you. I'm afraid you didn't come here just to give me this painting, right?" Liu Dongxiao asked.
After smiling slightly awkwardly, Chen Yuguang took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Liu Dong, "Boss, this is the company development plan I have drawn up for the last quarter of this year. Please take a look at it. !”
After briefly flipping through it, Liu Dong smiled and said, "I knew you were here to ask for money!"
Ever since Liu Dong's loan of 20 billion spread among several major groups, there is no leader of that company who is not concerned about it. Even now that the 20 billion has been allocated and Chen Yuguang is new here, he is not willing to let it go like this. If he gives up, otherwise he misses this opportunity, the development of Puhua Red Star Auction House will inevitably lag behind that of its brother companies within the three major groups, which is not what he wants.
Therefore, after some hesitation, Chen Yuguang came to the door decisively and asked for whatever he could. He believed that the boss, who was known for his generosity and civility in the company, would not favor one thing over another.
"I have no objection to your plan to establish Guangzhou and Shenzhen branches. This time the company's profits can also be left to your disposal, and I will give you another 100 million for the development of Puhua Red Star Auction House before the end of the year.
When doing comprehensive calculations, I hope that the total turnover of Puhua Red Star Auction House this year will exceed 1.5 billion!" Liu Dongdao.
Now this strategy of promoting company development through investment has become one of Liu Dong's usual methods. It is very common in business operations, but it is also very effective.
"Yes, boss, don't worry! When the company summarizes the work at the end of the year, I promise to complete the task!" After Chen Yuguang thought about it briefly, he agreed without hesitation.
Including the spring auction, plus the eight months of 2001, the turnover has now reached 900 million. If we add the autumn auction held in early November and work harder in the remaining four months, we will achieve a turnover of 1.5 billion.
It’s not difficult! And when the two branches in Guangzhou and Shenzhen are established, they will be able to provide some support.
"By then, Puhua Red Star Auction House's layout in all first-tier cities across the country will be completed, and next year it can expand to major second-tier cities in the country. Depending on the boss's character and previous behavior, maybe in a few years, Puhua Red Star Auction House will still be
If there is an opportunity to go international, no, there must be an opportunity to go international!" Chen Yuguang thought to himself.
He does not expect Price Waterhouse Red Star to surpass Christie's and Sotheby's, the two giants in the world's auction industry, in the next ten years, but Phillips, the world's third largest auction house, can still look forward to it!
…
After sending Chen Yuguang away, Liu Dong returned to the backyard and took off the blindfolds from the eyes of the two little Tibetan mastiffs.
Generally, puppies can open their eyes ten days and a half after birth, so this time the first person the two Tibetan Mastiff puppies saw when they opened their eyes was Liu Dong, and they naturally regarded him as their closest relative.
Seeing the two cute little Tibetan mastiffs waddling their little tails and waddling towards him, Liu Dong quickly handed over the milk bottle in his hand.
The two little things twitched their noses and came up to each other in unison, fighting for the bottle in Liu Dong's hand.
Finally, with Liu Dong's comfort, he was able to feed these two little things.
After looking at the two little Tibetan mastiffs crawling around in the incubator, Liu Dong took out a blue and white porcelain bottle with a long neck and a swollen belly, about 15 centimeters, from the mustard space.
"Master Cheap said that the Jade Chan Heart-protecting Pill has the effect of cutting hair and cleaning marrow. This time I will give these two little guys a break!" Liu Dong was afraid that he would not take good care of himself and let these two little Tibetan Mastiffs die young, so Liu Dong took out
My own precious elixir.
However, he was also afraid that the two little Tibetan Mastiffs were not yet full moon and would not be able to absorb the power of the Jade Chan Heart Protecting Pill, so Liu Dong divided a pill into two halves, dissolved it into milk and gave it to the two little ones to drink.
"Are you stupid enough to know that this is a good thing?" Liu Dong couldn't help laughing as he saw the two little things catching up with him, licking his fingers, and even holding them in his mouth.
