at dusk.
The reporters squatting outside Paradise Villa were listlessly glancing at the grand gate. The vendors pushing tricycles were shouting about the types of food. Even though they were hungry, they didn't have much desire to eat.
Without news, for media people like them, it is simply endless torture.
"Dear friends from the media, I have just received a notice to invite you to the eastern suburbs square of the villa. The dinner has been prepared for you. At the same time, we will inform you of important things." Golden Lion strode out of the villa gate and looked around at thousands of people. a member of the media exclaimed.
"Is there something important? Is there any news?"
"Oh my god! Is Dafu Jewelry about to break the news?"
"You also prepared a dinner? I didn't expect that one day I would be able to eat food from Paradise Villa. If it was big news, I would have eaten a lot today."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, we must grab a good position."
“…”
Thousands of reporters were excited. They cheered up and rushed into the gate of Paradise Villa while dozens of Paradise Villa security guards maintained order.
Eastern Suburb Plaza.
Hundreds of round tables were filled here, and waitresses with good looks and extraordinary temperament arrived one after another with fragrant meals and drinks. The strong aroma of the meals aroused the appetite of all reporters. However, as the reporters took their seats, no one moved their chopsticks. Guns, cannons, and various shooting instruments began to be fixed, adjusted, and all aimed at the temporary half-meter-high platform at the northernmost end.
Jin Shi stepped onto the platform without a microphone in his hand, but the roar of sound reached every reporter's ears: "Everyone, our boss said, you should eat and drink first before listening to the news, otherwise after the big news is announced, , I’m afraid you are not in the mood to finish your meal. In addition, our boss also said: waste is shameful, please cherish every bit of food. Thank you."
Finished.
The golden lion strode off the platform.
The reporters were dumbfounded. This was the first time they had been invited to dinner and then announced important news. However, this arrangement made them feel warm in their hearts. It was obvious that the boss of Dafu Jewelry knew their current situation very well. After knowing that they got the news, he would probably write a press release and submit the shooting information as soon as possible to strive for the first time. Get the news out.
"Comrades, eat quickly, eat and drink enough to listen to the news."
A rich reporter at a certain table yelled, then grabbed his chopsticks and ate hungrily. Under his leadership, tens of millions of reporters ate meat and drank tea. There was fine wine on the table, but no one touched it.
Half an hour later.
Hao Lei was followed by three waiters carrying trays to the table. She was wearing a floral skirt and her long flowing hair. She looked particularly dignified and beautiful. She held the microphone in her hand, glanced at the crowd and smiled: " Dear reporter friends, welcome everyone. I am Hao Lei, the general manager of Dafu Jewelry. Now I am announcing two things. The first thing is that our Dafu Jewelry has welcomed three waves of VIPs. The zodiac statues brought by these three waves of VIPs are exactly The jade carving we put a reward on.”
"Three waves?"
All the reporters were excited. One of the reporters at the table closest to Hao Lei asked loudly: "Mr. Hao, can you reveal to us the identities of those distinguished guests? And what kind of zodiac jade carvings they sent?"
Hao Lei said with a smile: "This is the second thing to reveal the identity of the distinguished guest. Now I will show everyone the jade carving of the zodiac they sent."
Said.
She gestured to the three waiters behind her, and they immediately lifted the yellow silk cloth covering the tray. In an instant, all the cameras were focused on the three lifelike zodiac jade carvings, all red in color.
Hao Lei said with a smile: "There are three zodiac jade carvings, namely the jade monkey, the jade rooster, and the jade rabbit. Together with the jade dragon and jade tiger in our hands, there are now five kinds of jade carvings in the entire set. I hope all the journalists will help with advertising. , help find the remaining seven zodiac jade carvings."
The flashlight kept flashing, and the focus kept lingering on the three jade carvings.
Hao Lei continued: "The second thing I want to announce is: the VIPs of Jade Monkey and Jade Rooster do not want their identities to be revealed, so we cannot tell everyone who they are. However, 100 million US dollars have been paid to them. As for The distinguished guest who brought Jade Rabbit is willing to be interviewed by everyone.”
"Great, where is he?"
"It's better if someone is willing to be interviewed than if no one is willing! Where is he?"
"who is it?"
“…”
Behind the platform, Zhang Moyuan came to the stage accompanied by four security guards, stood in front of Hao Lei, and nodded hurriedly in salute.
Hao Lei said with a smile: "Let me introduce to you, this is Boss Zhang Moyuan from Fukang Province. He is also the big boss of Yulong Building Materials in Fukang Province. Next, I would like to invite Boss Zhang to speak."
Zhang Moyuan took the phone and glanced from below with his deep eyes. After a few seconds of silence, a bitter smile appeared on his face and he said: "Actually, in the eyes of many people, I am a family owner. A big boss with hundreds of millions of assets must be very rich. Yes, a few months ago, I was indeed very rich. At least I had enough to eat and drink, lived in a mansion, drove a luxury car, and had countless rich friends."
"However, it is difficult to do business these days, and it is even more difficult to be a boss. Due to some special changes, the business of my Yulong Building Materials Group Company has shrunk significantly, and there is even a situation of poor capital turnover."
"The Jade Rabbit is my favorite collectible. I once even imagined that I would keep it as an heirloom of my Zhang family and pass it on to my descendants. However, when the company encountered problems , but I had to take it out. Bring it to Shanghai, bring it to this Paradise Villa."
"Just two hours ago, more than 690 million yuan has arrived in my account, and I have also transferred 190 million of it to my company's public account. It can be said that the Jade Rabbit saved me. company, it was Jade Rabbit that made my assets soar."
"Although I have regrets in my heart, I also feel satisfied. This satisfaction comes not only from the financial gains, but also from the fact that I know that there are not only jade rabbits in the world, but also eleven other jade carvings. And I brought Jade Rabbit, I also hope that Dafu Jewelry can find all twelve zodiac jade carvings as soon as possible."
Zhang Moyuan's speech was slow and slow, but at this time, the reporters below were all ignited. A collection of jade rabbits saved a group company with a market value of hundreds of millions, allowing the rich to avoid the possibility of bankruptcy. They had many friends but no one to help them...
Various highlights, various highlights.
The reporters were all flushed, and the veins on their foreheads were dancing with excitement.
Late at night.
From the Shanghai Railway Station, Chen Jianshe dragged his tired body out. He was holding a maza in his hand and a worn black leather bag on his shoulder. He was accompanied by his cousin Chen Jiawei.
"Brother, we have arrived in Shanghai, but where can we find a buyer?" Chen Jiawei has a dark complexion, a strong body, and a rough voice.
Chen Jianshe hesitated and said: "The newspaper said it was Paradise Villa. How do we know where Paradise Villa is? How about we call the phone number left in the newspaper and ask about the situation?"
"let's hit!"
Chen Jiawei was a little uneasy when he first came to the bustling metropolis, so he nodded hurriedly.
Chen Jianshe grabbed his old Nokia mobile phone that had been used for five or six years and dialed the phone number according to the newspaper. It didn't take long for him to be connected.
"Hello, I'm Hao Lei, who are you?"
"Hello, hello, we are here to sell jade cattle. The newspaper said that you want to buy it. Is it true?" Chen Jianshe said with expectation while controlling his emotions.
Hao Lei said: "Jade Cow? Where are you? I am Hao Lei, the general manager of Dafu Jewelry. We really want to buy zodiac jade carvings."
Chen Jianshe said: "We have just arrived in Shanghai and just left the train station. Well... we are coming to Shanghai for the first time. We are unfamiliar with the place and don't know where to go."
Hao Lei said: "Please tell me which train station it is. I will send someone immediately... No, I will rush there to pick you up immediately."
"Which railway station? Is it the Shanghai Railway Station?" Chen Jianshe said in confusion.
Hao Lei said dumbfounded: "Shanghai has several train stations, you..."
Forty minutes.
Hao Lei hurried to Shanghai Railway Station with Jin Shi and others. After contacting them by phone, they finally found Chen Jianshe and Chen Jiawei sitting on a horse in the square smoking.
"Both of you, who is Mr. Chen Jianshe Chen?"
Chen Jianshe stood up in a hurry, looked at the dignified, elegant and noble Hao Lei, and then looked at the tall and imposing Golden Lions, and stammered: "I... I am Chen Jianye, you... you are that Hao... Hao Lei, Manager Hao?”
Hao Lei stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "Yes, I am Hao Lei, the general manager of Dafu Jewelry. Welcome you two to Shanghai. Mr. Chen, the car is in the parking lot. Please follow me."
"Ah...oh, okay."
Chen Jianshe blushed and shook Hao Lei's hand. After taking it back, he subconsciously rubbed his clothes. Then he pulled Chen Jiawei, and the two followed Hao Lei and others to the parking lot.
Return to Paradise Villa.
Hao Lei took the two of them to the VIP room, ordered the waiter to prepare the meal, and then asked with a smile: "You two, you said you brought a jade cow, please take it out! I need to identify it. If it is a real jade cow, We are willing to buy it for $100 million."
One hundred million dollars!
Chen Jianshe and Chen Jiawei were instantly excited. After all, such a huge amount was simply an astronomical figure for them.
Subsequently.
Chen Jianshe took the jade cow out of the worn black leather bag, handed it to Hao Lei and said: "This is it, it is an heirloom of our Chen family. I begged my father for a long time, and he gave it to me. Manager Hao, you You can’t lie to us! My son is still waiting for money to beg a wife! My daughter is still waiting for money to pay her tuition. If... If you are not willing to give that much money, just give less."
