Weekends, museum clubs, private parties.

Every time, it’s like a red carpet or a luxury car show.

Lawrence Lu still took a helicopter, bypassing the exit and landing on the open space on the roof. Helicopters are so good, there's no need to worry about traffic jams!

The venue was bustling with people, looking at the exhibits, chatting with each other, and talking about business matters.

When Mrs. Qian saw Lu Guansheng coming, she took Old Liu over.

"Old Liu, this is my eldest nephew, Lu Guansheng." Mrs. Qian introduced him to Old Liu.

Old Liu, Liu Wucan, is the chairman of "Xiangyun", the top jewelry brand in China today.

"Hello, Mr. Liu!" Lu Guansheng extended his hand to him.

"Hello, Mr. Lu! I've heard of you for a long time. Now that I've met you, I can see that you're quite a handsome man!" Liu Wucan shook Lu Guansheng's outstretched hand with a respectful tone.

"I heard that my aunt likes Mr. Liu's jewelry and wants to order it recently. Mr. Liu seems to be having difficulties?" Lu Guansheng's words were not sure whether they were a compliment or a blame. Anyway, it made people feel uneasy and lost.

"Oh! You know, it's not easy to do business in the jewelry industry now! Resources are scarce, and I have no choice." Liu Wucan was not trying to shirk responsibility. He also wanted to make money from Mrs. Qian!

Unfortunately, he alone couldn't embezzle the company's assets! With so many shareholders at Xiangyun Jewelry, Liu Wucan was, frankly, on pins and needles, fearing a public backlash that would drive him out of office.

"Why doesn't Mr. Liu increase his investment and secure his position as the largest shareholder?" Lu Guansheng asked.

"I want to too! But to hold the position firmly, I must have 35% of the shares. The extra 10% is harder to acquire than climbing to the sky!" Liu Wucan has money but no connections. No one is willing to sell his shares!

"Mr. Liu doesn't need to buy shares. He just needs to use hard investment to dilute other people's shares, right?" Lu Guansheng always has a trick up his sleeve.

For jewelry companies, hard investment means investment in resource allocation. Liu Wucan had considered this, but the investment would have to reach 10%. Xiangyun has a large asset base, and the current market liquidity is insufficient!

"Mr. Liu, you see, I only have one aunt, and I want to make her happy. Let's make a deal?" Lu Guansheng started to make a deal.

"Mr. Lu, please speak!" Liu Wucan didn't know what Lu Guansheng was up to, and was afraid that he wanted to use his connections to pressure him, but he didn't dare to refuse directly.

"Calculate how much gold is needed to achieve a 10% equity investment?" Lu Guansheng asked a question that Liu Wucan did not expect him to ask.

"According to the current market price, about thirty to fifty tons?" Liu Wucan didn't understand, but answered truthfully.

"Thirty to fifty tons? Pure cargo?"

"Yes!" Liu Wucan expressed his frustration. "The state-owned treasury is only allowed to mine three to five tons a year, so this path won't work!"

"Not necessarily!" As soon as Lu Guansheng said these two words, Liu Wucan's eyes lit up.

"Could it be that... Mr. Lu has some secret? Is it legitimate?"

"Mr. Liu, the regulations only say that natural gold mines cannot be mined, but they don't say that already mined resources cannot be used, right? We can still try recycling!"

“Recycling is feasible, but where can we recycle 30 or 50 tons?”

"Aren't there shipwrecks on the high seas? I heard several of them are loaded with gold! Gold doesn't rust, so if we dig it up, it can still be used, right?"

"Shipwreck on the high seas?" Okay, sure, but I don't have the skills!

"Technology... I think I have it!" Lawrence Lu shook his champagne. "It all depends on whether Mr. Liu is willing to invest!"

"invest?"

"Well! The current market price of gold is 6.5 billion per ton. If Mr. Liu is willing to part with 350 billion in exchange for a 35% stake, I, Lu, can get you 50 tons of gold!"

"Mr. Lu, are you serious?" Liu Wucan still has more than 300 billion. What's more, if he can use this 300 billion to exchange for a secure seat, he will definitely be willing to do so!

Even with limited resources, jewelry stores consistently achieve record performance and generate generous dividends year after year. If you increase your stake by 10% and have the resources and storage, your dividends will reach new heights every year!

A business investment that is guaranteed to make money, not to mention a veteran businessman like Liu Wucan, anyone with a bit of financial acumen would definitely be willing to do it!

"Mr. Lu, this is our first meeting, why would you help me?" Liu Wucan still couldn't figure it out.

"Help you? Why should I help you?" Lu Guansheng said this casually. "I'm just trying to get something for nothing. I'm exchanging the gold from the shipwreck for a large sum of money, and I'm trying to please my aunt at the same time. Does this count as helping you?"

"Uh..." It doesn't really count.

"Deal? If so, will you give me my aunt's jewelry set for free?"

"If Mr. Lu can really get 50 tons of gold, don't even bother with just one set! I'll give you one set every year for free!"

"That's what you said!" Lu Guansheng took a few steps forward and pulled Mrs. Qian over. "Aunt, you signed a contract with him. He said he would give you a custom set every year. Don't let him back out!"

"Huh?" Mrs. Qian was bewildered. In just a few minutes, her jewelry set was ready? And she even got a set every year for free? How did her nephew manage to do it?

"I'll ask my secretary to draft the contract right away! Mr. Lu, do you keep your word?" Liu Wucan also wanted to finalize it as soon as possible to prevent Lu Guansheng from finding a competitor to become his current employer, which would be a waste of effort!

"Happy cooperation?" Lu Guansheng extended his hand.

"I, Liu, am waiting for good news from President Lu!"

The two parties shook hands and the deal was done, and soon two electronic contracts were signed.

350 billion! Hmm! Enough to splurge for a while!

After completing a business deal, Lu Guansheng didn't chat with them much, leaving the curious Mrs. Qian and the excited Liu Wucan to gossip about the ins and outs alone, and he left to find a new target.
