Jessica told Xue Chen's name and address. The man in the pink suit looked normal, but the other man accompanying him had a sudden look on his face and shouted.
"Are you talking about Xue Chen?"
If Xue Chen were present, he would have recognized that this man was Zong Ye, a red stick in the Hongmen Grand Hall! Zong Ye looked at Jessica with a gloomy look, and asked loudly in disbelief: "Are you talking about Xue Chen?
"
Jessica didn't know why this man had such a big reaction, but she nodded truthfully: "Yes, it's him."
There may be more than one person named Xue Chen in such a large capital city, but there must be only one person living at Jingjia No. 6. It is definitely Xue Chen who holds the shares that once belonged to the Ke Meiang family in Golden Angel. Zongye frowned into a knot.
The blood vessels in his neck burst, and naturally he felt extremely angry.
For him, the organization paid the price of seven stores, with a basic value of one to two billion, and the subsequent impact and losses were even greater.
For this reason, all he could do was to do more for the organization to make up for his mistakes, so he was transferred from China to North America and continued to work for the development and growth of the organization, which was making up for his mistakes.
There is no doubt that doing things in North America is more dangerous than in China. There is basically no danger to his life in China. He usually deals with some gangsters, and the weapons in the hands of those people are daggers and machetes, and at most they are homemade.
junk firearms.
But North America is different. This country is awash with guns. From pistols to sniper rifles, as long as you have money, you can buy them. Even when he faces a real gun, he may be killed if he is not careful. Moreover, the organization
Naturally, its influence in North America cannot be compared with that in China, and it faces more disputes. Various forces are surging undercurrents, and they must be ready to fight at any time.
But he never expected that he had already reached the other side of the Pacific Ocean, but once again heard the name of the person he least wanted to hear.
The man in a pink suit on the side looked slightly confused when he saw Zongye's reaction, and asked: "Mr. Zongye, what's wrong? Do you know this Xue Chen?"
"Humph, it's more than just acquaintance? I came here from China just to thank this person!" Zongye said with a cold face.
"Oh?" The man in the pink suit only knew that Zongye was sent from China to the United States to work by his side because he did something wrong and caused a lot of losses to the organization's assets. But specifically,
It was really unclear, and he was also a little interested in the name Xue Chen.
"Xue Chen, um, what's going on with this person? Tell me."
Zongye breathed heavily from his nostrils, holding back the unhappiness in his heart, and briefly explained some of the disputes between Xue Chen and him and the organization.
The man in a pink suit on the side also raised his eyebrows after hearing this. In China, someone actually made the organization suffer? Injured the barbarian Zong Ye, humiliated the poisonous queen Ji Xiaohuan, and angered Chu Fenglong?
Each of the eight red sticks in the Grand Hall has a nickname, which can also be said to be a title. Zongye is called a barbarian because he is impulsive, has a manic personality, and has amazing destructive power. Ji Xiaohuan's ability is very powerful.
The poison can bite people unconsciously, so it is called the Queen of Poisons.
There is no doubt that these two people are the top combat power in the Grand Hall, and their methods are different, but they were all suppressed by one person? This surprised him, and he also realized that the meaning behind the name Xue Chen
The representative is not an easy person to deal with.
The man in the pink suit realized the difficulty of this matter. Now that the remaining shares of the Golden Angel are in the hands of a superhuman who is not afraid of people in the organization, what should he do? Things that he thought would be solved easily are now gone.
Good note.
There was nothing that could be hidden about the exchange between the two people, so Jessica also heard every word they said. There was no expression on her face, but she couldn't stop the trembling in her heart, which was revealed in the words of the two people.
There is also more information.
The man in the pink suit also realized that it was impossible to get the remaining shares of Golden Angel today. He had to go back and understand the situation carefully before making any considerations.
"Miss Jessica, please excuse me, I will come again another day."
The man in the pink suit stood up and walked out of the office accompanied by Zongye and the female secretary.
As soon as the two people left, Jessica immediately called Xue Chen again and explained in detail what she had just heard.
"Is it him, Zong Ye?"
After hanging up the phone, he thought about the matter in his mind. Golden Angel is now developing very well. It can be said to be a very good asset. Normal people will not sell the hens that lay golden eggs.
He is not short of money, and of course he has no intention of selling it.
But the problem is that now that the shares of another major shareholder have been acquired by the Hongmen Grand Hall, I am afraid that the other party may not be willing to run the bank together with peace of mind, and will only find a way to swallow the whole bank into one person's belly.
go.
After thinking for a while, he stopped thinking about this matter. Now he can only take one step at a time. He wants to see how the Hongmen Grand Court handles this matter this time. If he still wants to be tough, he will accompany him!
The day after he found Qu Liancheng, Xue Chen got good news from Zhuge Yi. Qu Liancheng agreed and was willing to try to help him manage all the stores.
So he and Qu Liancheng met again, this time in the store on Liulichang Cultural Street. Qu Liancheng specially took care of it before coming. His hair, which was a little messy, was cut into a buzz cut and he put on a new suit.
Wearing a dark brown shirt and black trousers, with leather shoes on his feet and a leather bag in his hand, he looked completely different from yesterday. Perhaps because of past experiences, he exuded a vicissitudes of life and a calm demeanor.
"Brother Qu, please sit down quickly." Xue Chen asked Qu Liancheng to sit down, and then poured tea, "I'm really happy that you can agree to this."
Qu Liancheng pondered and said: "To be honest, I am a little scared to get Brother Xue's trust and invitation. I am afraid that I will not be able to complete this work and live up to the expectations of Mr. Zhuge and you."
Xue Chen didn't know whether Qu Liancheng could manage all the stores well, but since he was the candidate that both Zhuge Yi and Li Lingchun agreed on, he thought he must have some skills, but to say the least, he definitely
It won't bring any negative effects, so you might as well give it a try.
He took out a stack of information and handed it to Qu Liancheng: "This is the information of eleven stores. Among them, the three stores in Yunzhou Province were opened by me and a few friends. The one in Beijing is owned by me personally.
, and the remaining seven are Shengshi Antiques stores.”
Eleven stores are not a small number. Unlike some restaurant chains, there may be hundreds, but they are all franchise stores. The funds required to open a store are also a small amount. But antique stores are different.
A high-end store requires a lot of money.
Qu Liancheng took the information and read it carefully, very carefully. It took him more than half an hour to finish it. At the same time, he kept writing and drawing on the information with a pen, as if he was planning something.
"Brother Xue, do you plan to rename the seven stores you acquired into Excellence?"
Xue Chen subconsciously said: "Of course." Since it was now in his hands, it was natural to change the name.
"This is not good." Qu Liancheng pursed his lips, his expression very serious, "I think it is best not to change the name in a short period of time, otherwise it will definitely have a big impact on the business of these seven stores. If you are
A customer who often patronizes an antique store suddenly changes its name, what would you think?"
Without waiting for Xue Chen to answer, Qu Liancheng asked and answered his own question.
"If it were me, I would definitely feel unfamiliar with this once-familiar store, and the trust I had built before would be greatly reduced. Looking back on why this store suddenly changed its name, is there something wrong with it? In antiques,
In this business, suspicion is the biggest obstacle between buyers and sellers. Once there is a trace of doubt, a transaction may be completely ruined.”
Seeing Qu Liancheng talking solemnly about the dangers of changing store names, Xue Chen did not refute, but listened quietly, with no intention of refuting, because what he said was very reasonable.
The antique business is an industry with relatively large capital flows. An antique can easily cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions. Moreover, the antique industry has unique characteristics. Even the Administration for Industry and Commerce has no way to issue regulations to regulate it.
.
Buying and selling antiques is not like selling mobile phones, computers, steel and hardware. Those things are just there. It is easier to know the quality of this batch of goods. Even a layman may not make a mistake. There is no chance of making a mistake.
But antiques are different. A piece of porcelain, a piece of calligraphy and painting is placed there. Let alone a layman, even an expert who has been in the antique industry for ten years may make a mistake and lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in vain.
.
It can be said that the business of antiques is like walking on the ice of the river. You have to walk on thin ice at all times, and you have to be very careful to reach the other side. If you are careless, you will fall into the river and feel the ice crackling under your feet.
The sound will stop moving, and may even go back the way it came and choose another way.
The trust between antique shops and customers is that layer of ice. The thicker the ice layer, the higher the trust between both parties, and the easier it will be to conduct transactions, and the business will naturally prosper.
Changing the name of a store is equivalent to shaving off a layer of ice. Old customers will inevitably be worried about whether something unexpected will happen when they come back.
"Then we won't change our name?" Xue Chen touched his chin.
Qu Liancheng said affirmatively: "At least you can't change your name now. Changing your name also requires a process. You can do this..." (To be continued)
