When Zhang Liu heard that it was seafood, his expression relaxed a lot. "It's not easy to open a seafood restaurant in the old street, right? Those rich people won't come here. The old street is too remote."
Lin Jiu: “Not bad.”
Uncle Xu stood at the door and looked around. "The decoration of the store is really good. It suits the taste of you young people. If you sell food here, you'd better post the menu, otherwise no one will know that this is a place to eat."
Uncle Xu is the owner of the Lao Xu Tailor Shop next door. He lives alone and his children are all living in other places. The second and third floors are rented out, and business in the shop is very slow. Fortunately, it is his own house, so he doesn't have to worry about paying rent.
When buying the house, Grandma Yu and Lin Jiu talked a lot about the old street, and of course they focused on the details of the neighbors on both sides.
Grandma Yu particularly emphasized that one must be more careful when dealing with Chen’s Noodle House, as Chen Dong and his wife are too cunning.
Lin Jiu nodded, "Thank you."
Then go in and move out the small blackboard.
Uncle Xu's words "Come and try it when you have time" were stuck in his throat. The price was indeed not low, and it was difficult for ordinary people to afford to spend so much money on a bowl of food.
When Zhang Liu saw the menu, he also took a hissing breath and turned back to Chen’s Noodle House.
Those who were originally looking at the shop curiously were discouraged by the prices.
At noon, Jiang Ge came over and saw two flower baskets next to the golden wheat ears. "Did you buy the flower baskets yourself? Why are there so few flowers?"
When I looked up, I saw that there were quite a few flower baskets in the store, which were much more beautiful than the ones outside.
Lin Jiu glanced at the door and saw only Jiang Ge, "No, someone pulled it out."
Jiang Ge sighed, "The old people and children here are all very capable. How did you come up with the idea of opening a store here? If you can't find a good store, I can help you find one."
"No, it's fine here." This is his own house, it's his second home, and he likes it very much.
Jiang Ge looked at the deserted store, thinking it might not be open yet. He complained again about the store's bad location. If it was opened in the city, business would surely be booming.
Jiang Ge ordered another large portion of seafood rice and ate it while sitting in the hall, chatting.
"The seafood here is so nutritious. I ate too much last night. This morning I got up and walked with a breeze. I have endless energy. Ah Xu is alive and well. He is busy with company matters. I think he will come in the evening. He can't do without your seafood to stay alive."
Jiang Ge kept chattering, and after finishing a large portion of seafood rice, he wanted some silver fish sashimi, but was rejected without hesitation.
When I was leaving, I was still muttering that my boss was too Buddhist and so annoying.
Jiang Ge was the only customer during lunch time. When the time was up, Lin Jiu closed the door and went out. He was going to go to "Blue Duke Jewelry". He was given 20 million for no reason, but he absolutely could not accept the money. The payment and goods had been settled last time, and since he agreed to sell it, he would not think it was too little.
After taking a taxi to the city, the taxi stopped on the side of the road. Just as Lin Jiu was about to enter the store, he was suddenly stopped by a man who rushed out. Lin Jiu stepped back vigilantly, thinking he had encountered an extreme black fan.
The man was in a suit and tie, panting, and had obviously run over here.
The man said quickly, "Hello, I am Zhao Weiqi, the sales manager of 'Kairui'. Do you have any more pearls? 'Kairui' is very willing to cooperate with you. If you still have black star beads, please consider 'Kairui'."
The popularity of the Black Star Beads completely crushes the "Goddess Series".
The top management of "Carrey" learned that the Black Star Bead originally belonged to "Carrey", but was rejected by a short-sighted salesman. As a result, they are now suppressed by "Blue Duke" and cannot raise their heads. Even if they fire the salesman, they cannot recover the losses of "Carrey".
The incident happened in the store under Zhao Weiqi's jurisdiction. As the sales manager, he was to blame. He alone bore the wrath of the top management, who told him to find this person and buy the Black Star Beads by whatever means necessary.
Where can he find people in such a big city like A? He can only use the dumbest method, waiting for the rabbit.
These days he receives calls from higher-ups every day, asking whether he has found the person. Zhao Weiqi is getting anxious and gets irritated. He drinks tea every day to cool himself down, and stands guard at the door of the store every day, staring at "Blue Duke" eagerly. He is almost getting tired of waiting.
Today he finally got what he was waiting for. When he saw the familiar long hair, black hat and black mask, he didn't say a word and didn't wait for the green light, so he rushed directly through the traffic.
"Excuse me."
Lin Jiu was about to leave, but Zhao Weiqi blocked his way again. "Please give Kerry a chance. I am willing to apologize for my behavior as a salesperson. You can compensate me in any way you want. Kerry's offer is definitely higher than Blue Lord's. Please consider it."
"Excuse me, please make way." Lin Jiu wanted to avoid him, Zhao Weiqi reached out to pull him in a hurry, Lin Jiu dodged, Zhao Weiqi saw that Lin Jiu was holding a paper bag, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Are there black star beads in the bag? Do you have black star beads again?"
Zhao Weiqi's voice was quite loud, and they were on the street, so many people had stopped to watch. Especially when they heard the word "Black Star Bead", those who reacted quickly took out their mobile phones to record the video.
Lin Jiu lowered the brim of his hat and was in a hurry to leave, but Zhao Weiqi held him tightly.
At this time, a group of people ran out of the "Blue Lord" store, and the security guard pulled Zhao Weiqi away and pushed him aside.
Zhang Feiheng, the sales manager of "Blue Duke", was sweating coldly. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Ever since the Black Star Beads became popular, Zhang Feiheng has finally been able to hold his head high. The Black Star Beads were purchased in his store, and the number of customers in the store has increased dramatically. People come to ask about the Black Star Beads every day. If they don't buy the Black Star Beads, they will also buy other jewelry. His sales have soared.
Mr. Xiao Ji personally ordered him to be alert and notify him immediately if the person selling Black Star Beads comes again. He has been in the store during this period of time and just heard the clerk come to report that the person selling Black Star Beads has come, but was stopped by the sales manager of "Kerry".
Zhang Feiheng rushed out with security, trying to intercept them halfway. But "Carrey" was dreaming!
Zhang Feiheng politely invited Lin Jiu into the store and asked the store manager to take everyone to the reception room. He then called Mr. Xiao Ji and told him about the incident of "Kerry" stealing the pearls.
This is also what Ji Anchen is most worried about. If he fails to buy the exclusive sales rights of the Black Star Beads, the Black Star Beads can be sold to "Blue Lord", "Carrey", or anyone else.
Ji Anchen rushed over as quickly as possible, and Lin Jiu had just finished drinking a glass of water.
Lin Jiu got straight to the point, "Mr. Ji, give me an account number and I will transfer the money to you."
On the way here, Ji Anchen was thinking that the purpose of this person coming again was very unlikely to be to sell the Black Star Beads, and it might be because of money.
Sure enough, we talked about this as soon as we met.
Ji Anchen said: "I didn't know the effect of the Black Star Bead before, and the bid was too low. I want to compensate a little."
"No, I promised to sell it for 5 million, so that's 5 million. I feel uncomfortable taking this money for nothing. Give me an account number."
Ji Anchen looked at him, revealing a pair of extremely beautiful eyes. "To be honest, I listened to you and left a few black star beads for the elderly at home. Now they eat well, sleep well, and are in good spirits. They all say that my offer is too low, and they urge me to pay you more every day. I have no choice."
Lin Jiu was silent. He could never refuse the old man's kindness.
Seeing that he was somewhat relenting, Ji Anchen continued, "The key is that the Black Star Beads are also very helpful to patients. My cousin couldn't sleep well every night because of his illness. After using the Black Star Beads, he was able to sleep well. I would feel guilty if I didn't give him money for such a good pearl."
Lin Jiu: “…”
Could this "cousin" be talking about his idol
Think about the video that Si Shen posted, which was about his cousin giving him a pearl, and it happened to be the day after he sold the Black Star Pearl...
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu: “…”
This is such a coincidence, Jiang Ge is Si Shen's friend, Mr. Ji is Si Shen's cousin, how lucky he is that even an industry that has nothing to do with him can be connected to Si Shen.
Thinking about the fact that he had just sent a black star bead to God Si yesterday, Lin Jiu felt a little nervous, worried that the vest would not be able to cover it up.
He touched his ear and took out a box from a paper bag. "Here are 12 beads. Your money can be used to buy these black star beads."
These are the pearls he found in the Black Star Berry last night. There are only so many in a berry. He was worried that Mr. Ji would not give him an account, so he would use the Black Star Pearls to pay for them. He didn’t want to owe anyone a favor.
The black star beads this time are not big, with diameters ranging from 8mm to 19mm, and look very uniform.
The black star beads were placed in a box of Mou Fu chocolate. The lid of the box was transparent, so the black star beads inside could be seen at a glance. Ji Anchen held it in his hand, and he didn't know what expression to make. Such an expensive and rare black star bead was only worthy of staying in a box of Mou Fu.
Ji Anchen: "Leave me your contact information."
Lin Jiu: "No need, I will come to the store if there is anything."
Ji Anchen had no choice but to give Lin Jiu his business card, hoping that he would contact him on his own initiative.
Lin Jiu took the business card.
Ji Anchen added: "'Carrey' is bothering you again, do you need my help?"
Ji Anchen wanted to test whether he had any intention of cooperating with "Kerry".
Lin Jiu only gave him two words, "No need."
Then turn and leave.
Ji Anchen had no idea what he meant. It was another day when he failed to obtain the exclusive sales rights.
The security of "Blue Duke" watched closely, guarding against "Carrey"'s men rushing over again. They sent Lin Jiu to the car and then returned to the store.
Lin Jiu didn't know yet that what happened at the door of "Blue Duke" had been photographed and posted on social media platforms.
Originally, not many people paid attention to it, but with the title of "Black Star Bead Merchant", it became eye-catching. What was even more eye-catching was that the two major jewelry stores, "Blue Duke" and "Kerry", openly snatched people on the street, giving the onlookers who could not afford the Black Star Beads a big show.
The sales managers of "Blue Duke" and "Carrey" were both included in the video and were recognized by many people, which further confirmed the fact that the two companies were competing for the talent.
When Si Xu received Wen Qin's call, he was in the company.
"I see that the person in the video looks a bit like Lin Jiu. The long hair is exactly the same as Lin Jiu's. They say that person is a Black Star Bead merchant. Is he the one who sent you your Black Star Bead?"
After hanging up the phone with Wen Qin, Si Xu immediately searched for the video on the Internet. The video had already gone viral, and many people were leaving messages asking him to find out who the raw pearl merchant was so that they could go buy raw pearls and take advantage of the situation.
