Caesar Western Restaurant, a booth covered by a screen.
Xue Chen and Ning Xuanxuan sat face to face, with several exquisite and delicious Western foods and snacks on the table.
Xue Chen was concentrating on a piece of steak. When he saw Ning Xuanxuan suddenly stretched out a hand towards him without saying a word, he silently dug into his pocket and placed a small purple box in Sister Xuan's.
Palm.
"Okay, assuming you passed the test, I'm still thinking about how to punish you if you forget to bring me a gift." Ning Xuanxuan said with the corner of her mouth raised in a cute manner.
Xue Chen smiled bitterly without saying anything.
Sister Xuan took the small box and opened it, taking out a necklace made of She Taicui as a pendant, and asked doubtfully: "Jade?"
"It's not jade, it's a specialty over there, She Taicui." Xue Chen corrected.
"She Taicui." Ning Xuanxuan muttered in her mouth.
"How are things going at the perfume factory?" Xue Chen asked while chewing beef.
"Fortunately, the fourth batch of nearly 50,000 bottles has been sold, and 30,000 of them have been sent to agents in five provinces in Jiangdong and Gannan provinces. As expected, almost all of them were shipped within ten days.
They’ve all been sold out, and I’ve been calling non-stop these days, clamoring to get some more, but there’s nowhere else to go, and the remaining 20,000 bottles are almost sold out.”
The corners of Ning Xuanxuan's lips curled up, and she stared at Xue Chen with penetrating eyes.
"Today, the factory has produced four batches of perfume, with a total output of more than 100,000 bottles, a retail price of 3,000, and a total turnover of 300 million. Moreover, our factory has basically no advertising and no sales promotion expenses.
It’s also zero. It all relies on word-of-mouth fermentation in the market, so the profit value is 10% of the turnover. Even if calculated as eight-tenths, the net profit is 240 million yuan. Xue Chen, we have made a lot of money.”
"Well, it's a lot of money." Xue Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard Ning Xuanxuan speak out a long list of figures, because he had never calculated the profit of a perfume factory, and he was surprised when he heard it now.
"According to the share sharing, you can get 70 million dividends for 30% of your shares!" Ning Xuanxuan stared at Xue Chen unblinkingly, she wanted to see Xue Chen hear that she could get so much
Looking excited about the dividends.
But, she didn't see it.
When Xue Chen heard that he could get 70 million in dividends, he simply said oh, and then continued to use the knife and fork to deal with the steak on the plate without much reaction.
"Seventy million, Xue Chen, aren't you happy? I think your current net worth combined may not reach this figure. Don't pretend to be calm in front of me, hum." Ning Xuanxuan smiled.
joked.
Xue Chen chuckled lightly and raised his eyes: "Seventy million is a lot, but Sister Xuan, you look down on me too much. Although I am not as wealthy as you, I am not overjoyed for 70 million.
"The contents of his safe together exceed this number.
He guessed from the miscellany in that old book that the ancient jade's previous owner might have been the richest man in the world, Shen Wansan. The more he thought about it after he came back, the more likely it became that although the ancient jade was not a cornucopia, it was comparable to a cornucopia.
If you use the various abilities acquired by ancient jade to try your best to collect money, then it is indeed not impossible to become rich in the world. Therefore, in his opinion, Shen Wansan is the master of ancient jade. Nine times out of ten, it will not be wrong.
.
Since Shen Wansan can become as rich as the country by relying on ancient jade, then even if he cannot achieve the height of Shen Wansan, if he really wants to make as much money as possible, he thinks, with a few or five Becoming the richest man in Haicheng City in 20 years may not really be a big problem.
Of course, he would definitely not do that. Shen Wansan was just too showy. What would be the end? He was forced to donate money to build the city. In the end, the whole family was sent to the southwestern frontier, which ended dismally.
Therefore, when it comes to obtaining money, he chooses a step-by-step approach that is appropriate and does not pursue it with fanaticism. He does not want to attract more people's attention. The lingering Kermeon family has already made him very unhappy, but he does not want to Then it will lead to more greedy people.
Ning Xuanxuan was surprised to see the indifference towards money in Xue Chen's eyes, which was completely different from that of a peer of his age. Those eyes were so deep that she couldn't see the bottom, as if they were hiding many things that she couldn't see through. , there is a sense of vicissitudes of life invisibly, and there is an urge that people can't help but explore and ask.
After a pause, Sister Xuan pursed her lips: "You just opened two antique shops and made a speculative investment. How could you have so much money? Even if you add the hundreds of dollars given to you by Yunteng Company, It's impossible for ten percent of the shares to be that many, I don't believe it, you're just bragging."
"If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it." Xue Chenhun shrugged nonchalantly.
Seeing that Xue Chen didn't take the bait at all and refused to follow her provocative tactics, Ning Xuanxuan angrily stabbed the steak on the plate in front of her with her fork several times.
Xue Chen glanced at it and said with a smile: "Sister Xuan, stop inserting it. It won't taste good if it's broken. Besides, it's already miserable enough when it's made into steak, and now you're torturing it."
"I want you to take care of it." Ning Xuanxuan said angrily.
Looking at Sister Xuan who was fuming, Xue Chen felt confused. He was fine just now, but why did he become angry in the blink of an eye? He asked suspiciously: "Ahem, Sister Xuan, um, have you been feeling unwell lately?" I want to ask if Ning Xuanxuan's aunt is here, otherwise why would her mood be so changeable?
Seeing Xue Chen's hesitant expression, Ning Xuanxuan understood the meaning of his words. Her face, which looked even brighter and charming under the soft light, turned red. She turned her eyes and glared cutely: "That's not what you want. That way, I just..."
"Just what?" Xue Chen asked curiously.
Ning Xuanxuan lowered her eyes slightly and said in a soft voice: "I just feel that you have been hiding something from me."
Xue Chen's hand holding the knife and fork paused, and a faint light flashed across his eyes.
"Don't make excuses. I'm not stupid. I can feel that you must be hiding something from me. No, not just from me, but from everyone, right?" Ning Xuanxuan suddenly raised her head, with a pair of bright eyes. His eyes stared closely into Xue Chen's eyes.
Xue Chen put down his knife and fork, looked at Sister Xuan with interest, and said with a smile: "Oh? Sister Xuan, why did you say that."
"Of course I got it from observation. I don't know when it started. I feel that you have changed. It's not your personality or your appearance, but some other aspects. It always surprises people and makes people unable to see through it. It has become mysterious. To put it more distantly, you have just been an apprentice at a pawn shop for two or three months, and in the blink of an eye you got first place in some treasure appraisal competition. To put it more closely, you have taken out those flowers for watering. I have never heard of such medicinal liquid, and it is something that cannot be speculated based on common sense..."
Ning Xuanxuan leaned forward slightly, bringing her face closer to Xue Chen's face, and the light in her eyes became more and more intense and fiery.
"These are just two of many things, so I guess something must have happened to you. You must be hiding something from me. I even talked to Fatty Wang, and even he was very confused. You said that I Are you right? Sometimes I even wonder if you are controlled or possessed by aliens."
Xue Chen leaned back on the chair with a smile on his face: "Sister Xuan, you are really wasting your imagination if you don't become a screenwriter."
"Don't make jokes, answer honestly." Ning Xuanxuan deliberately made a serious face.
After hearing Ning Xuanxuan's words, Xue Chen was not too surprised, nor did it cause too much trouble in his heart. In Haicheng, he, Wang Dong, and Ning Xuanxuan were closest to each other and spent less time together. After all, it is normal to have some doubts about him.
To put it another way, he didn't have much caution or caution towards the two of them, so he showed the abilities he obtained from ancient jade in front of the two of them the most often, which naturally aroused their suspicion.
Wang Dong's attitude has always been one of confusion. As long as he can follow him to eat, drink, earn money and have fun, it will be fine. It would be even better if he could hook up with a beautiful girl with a hot figure, and he won't think so much.
Ning Xuanxuan, on the other hand, had more thoughts and couldn't get rid of the sand in her eyes. This was not the first time she had doubts about him, but this time, it was the most straightforward one.
"Then just think that I am possessed by an alien." Xue Chen said with a faint smile.
"I knew you wouldn't say anything." Ning Xuanxuan sounded a little disappointed and asked, "You don't believe me?"
Xue Chen's expression became more serious, and he calmed down and said: "Sister Xuan, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that it's not convenient to say it now. I will definitely say it when I have the opportunity, but not now."
"Then you just admit that you are hiding something from me." Ning Xuanxuan raised her head, her bright eyes shining.
"Who doesn't have their own secrets, right?" Xue Chen replied.
"Then when can you tell me?" Ning Xuanxuan asked nervously.
"when……"
Xue Chen once thought about this question. When did he no longer need to conceal the existence of Gu Yu? It was really difficult for him to give an answer. Even Shen Wansan kept secret about the existence of Gu Yu and hid it from his family. It can be seen that He also knew how unusual the existence of ancient jade was. If word spread, I am afraid that Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang would not be jealous of his money, but would directly snatch the ancient jade away.
So now, I'm afraid the same is true. If many people know about Ancient Jade and what kind of existence it is, he is afraid that troubles will come like a tide and what kind of jealous predators will be attracted. He cannot predict .
Xue Chen habitually reached out and touched the ancient jade wrapped in a silver skull on his chest, thinking of the five abilities his eyes had gained with the ancient jade, from the initial perspective, to eagle eye, rejuvenation, to the current reading. Mind and hypnosis.
There are five abilities. If an ordinary person obtains one, it will be enough to show off in a certain field. If it is publicized, it will be reported and publicized by countless media. What if there are five abilities?
Ancient jade can be said to be truly priceless! (To be continued)
