Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan looked at each other and signaled that their wives should speak.

Chu Xuan smiled and responded, "Mom, Chen Ze and I are looking for around 200,000. However, Chu Dashan mentioned to us privately that 150,000 is the reserve price."

Tian Xiaoyun said as he drove, "We'll get to the auction house soon and tell the owner that we want the bidding to start at 200,000. The more we can sell it for, the better. Although all the money will belong to Chu Dashan, half will remain in your hands. With more money in hand, we'll have less pressure to support him in his old age."

"good."

After arriving at the auction house, Mu Chenze and the other two saw a familiar figure, Wu Mingli.

The owner of the auction house turned his back to Tian Xiaoyun and the others and spoke enthusiastically to Wu Mingli, "Mr. Wu, this watch is very similar to the one you brought yesterday, just with a different serial number. I will definitely give you a fair price."

Wu Mingli was about to say thank you, but when he looked up, he saw Chu Xuan and the others. He looked a little embarrassed and quickly hid the things in his hand behind his back.

Chu Xuan's eyes fell on the watch in his hand.

"Brother Mingli, are you planning to sell the watch?"

There was concern in his tone.

Last night he took out money to help Wu Bingwen pay off his debts, and Chu Xuan's attitude towards him changed.

Tian Xiaoyun also asked with concern, "Mingli, you sold your watch to pay off your father's debt yesterday for 50,000 yuan, right? Is this watch Mingwan got today?"

She saw Ming Wan wearing it yesterday.

Wu Mingli simply stopped hiding it and said, "Yes. I sold that watch yesterday for 45,000 yuan. Adding my savings of 5,000 yuan, I have a total of 50,000 yuan. This watch was a gift from my eldest brother. Mingwan and I don't need it, so we want to sell it to help my father pay off his debts."

He took out a watch from behind and handed it to the owner of the auction house.

Mr. Jin, the boss of the auction house, took it happily.

The selling price of this watch is 50,000 yuan. He bought it for 45,000 yuan. At the auction, it will definitely be sold for around 60,000 yuan.

Because this is a limited edition watch.

There is a possibility of further appreciation in the future.

Boss Jin readily gave Wu Mingli a check.

Wu Mingli took it, confirmed it was correct, then said goodbye to everyone and left.

He hurriedly handed the check to Mingwan, and then they went together to return it to his second uncle.

Tian Xiaoyun and others stayed in the auction house to discuss the auction of ambergris with Boss Jin.

When Boss Jin saw such a large piece of ambergris, he was very excited.

"This thing will definitely fetch a high price. To be honest, several wealthy businessmen have been asking me about it lately. They all want to buy it!"

Tian Xiaoyun and the other two were very happy. They were worried that the item would fail to sell before they came.

Tian Xiaoyun joked, "Boss Jin, last time I asked you about the price of ambergris, you didn't mention that many people wanted to buy it!"

Boss Jin spread his hands. "I really didn't ask about it back then. It's just that it's become so popular in the last few days. It seems those wealthy businessmen got interested after hearing that ambergris was used by emperors in the past. They said they wanted to experience what it's like to be an emperor."

Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan smiled at each other. This thing was indeed something only ancient emperors could enjoy.

The auction time was finally set to start at 10 am three days later.

Boss Jin needs to set aside three days to build momentum.

Mu Chenze and his wife signed an auction entrustment agreement with Boss Jin and bought insurance for the ambergris.

You can leave the ambergris with Boss Jin without any worries.

There is an agreement and insurance. If the ambergris is lost or damaged before the auction, the auction house and the insurance company will compensate Mu Chenze and his wife 200,000 yuan.

Mu Chenze and his wife could understand the compensation amount in the agreement and knew that it was the price converted into domestic currency.

After the conversation, Tian Xiaoyun drove her daughter and son-in-law to the company.

"I'll show you two around the company today."

Mu Chenze and his wife were somewhat excited. They had always heard that the Wu family's company was very large, but this was the first time they had seen it.

It was only after I arrived at the company that I realized how big it is.

It is ten times the area of ​​the Nanyu Village factory.

The company not only engages in trade, but also has its own production workshop.

Mainly produces stainless steel pots, basins and the like.

When he saw the production line, Mu Chenze didn't even blink, because he found that it was semi-automated and required very little manpower.

I can't help but admire the advanced production line.

After the tour, Tian Xiaoyun took them to the office.

Ask the assistant to make coffee.

Mu Chenze had drunk coffee in China, so he didn't find it bitter this time. He put a lot of sugar in it beforehand and took a sip. He felt it tasted better than the first time.

Chu Xuan really likes the taste of coffee and savors it slowly.

Before he finished drinking, Wu Bingcheng knocked on the door and came in.

"Xiaoyun, can you come to my office?"

Tian Xiaoyun responded with a smile, "Of course."

She could guess what her husband wanted to talk to her about.

Arriving at Wu Bingcheng's office, Wu Bingcheng took out two checks and two stacks of cash from the drawer. "This money is just enough to pay Xiaoxuan back. I want to pay it back to her. What do you think?"

He had told Tian Xiaoyun about borrowing Xiaoxuan's money a long time ago. Tian Xiaoyun was very angry at that time, but then she thought that only by helping the Wu family company overcome the difficulties and getting the company up and running could she repay Xiaoxuan's money as soon as possible.

Tian Xiaoyun knew how much money was in the company's account. Together with the money raised by Mingli and Mingwan, it was just enough to pay back the debt. However, the company would be without working capital and might encounter various problems.

"Bingcheng, I suggest you pay back half first and use the remaining money for the company's turnover. I believe Xiaoxuan will make the same choice."

"I always owe Xiaoxuan money, and I feel bad."

"I'll go discuss this with Xiaoxuan."

Tian Xiaoyun turned around and went back to her office, but was stopped by Wu Bingcheng.

"Xiaoyun, I borrowed the money, so I should be the one to discuss this with Xiaoxuan. How about this! You stay in my office for a while, so that Xiaoxuan won't be embarrassed to tell her your true thoughts in front of her."

"Oh well."

After a while, Wu Bingcheng walked up to Mu Chenze and his wife, his face gentle, "Chenze, Xiaoxuan, I'd like to discuss something with you two. The company has just raised enough money to pay you back, but this will cause problems with the company's cash flow. Can I pay you back part of it first, and the rest in six months? Or, if you trust me and the company, you can use the rest to invest in the company and get dividends every year. How about that?"

Mu Chenze looked at Chu Xuan with a doting look on his face, "Wife, I'll listen to you on this matter."

Chu Xuan smiled slightly. "Actually, I'd rather invest all my money in the company. Dad, next year, you can just divide the dividends between me and Chen Ze."

Wu Bingcheng naturally understood that his daughter and son-in-law were thinking of him. "I'll give you a 5% dividend based on sales revenue, starting from the month I lent you the money."

Mu Chenze and his wife knew that Wu Bingcheng was also thinking about them. If dividends were distributed based on sales revenue, they would get dividends regardless of whether they made a profit or not.

Chu Xuan said, "Dad, let's distribute the profits according to the profits! The past two years have been the most difficult time for the company. Before we make a profit, Chen Ze and I can't ask for dividends."

Wu Bingcheng didn't want his daughter and son-in-law to suffer, so he waved his hands repeatedly, "That won't work. If you two don't agree to a profit distribution based on sales revenue, I'll return the money to you today. If you agree, let's sign the profit distribution agreement now."
