Chapter 940 Cheng Hui is good in every way, but she is too wasteful
Cheng Hui now has a small Western-style building with a yard here, which he uses as his office.
Currently this house is still public, we will talk about it later~
When Bian Yue arrived, Cheng Hui greeted her at the door.
In her previous life, her relationship with this sister was very ordinary. They were not very close, but there were no conflicts either.
She doesn't want to have any conflicts in her life and make others laugh at her.
"Welcome." Cheng Hui said with a smile.
Bian Yue was a little flattered.
She has been very busy these days, asking about Cheng Hui.
She knew more than Zhang Liangyu, but she didn't say a word to Zhang Liangyu.
Because she knew so much, she didn't dare to make trouble with Cheng Hui. She just wanted to discuss cooperation.
Bian Yue also extended her hand enthusiastically and said with a smile: "Excuse me for disturbing you. I really like you. I have heard a lot of your stories in the past few days. I admire you. You are my idol!"
In her other hand she was holding a gift.
After we entered the room and sat down, she took it out and introduced it: "This is Chanel's new bag this season. It's a small token of my appreciation. I hope you like it."
Cheng Hui took a look at the bag. It was the style that Bian Yue liked. It was probably her new bag, and she was giving it as a gift.
She was not angry. It was normal for her to come to the Canton Fair without preparing any gifts.
"Thank you." She said, "But I can't accept it. We have a rule that we can't accept any gifts."
Just as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door again.
Hill and several leaders of the Canton Fair came over.
Hill was also impatient. As soon as he entered the door, he asked, "I heard your antiques have arrived? Can I start choosing? I can't wait!"
Cheng Hui asked someone to pick out some porcelain pieces from her home, and several people brought them over by train. They didn't use logistics for fear that they would be broken.
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "You are really well-informed. The stuff has arrived but hasn't been unpacked yet. I'm waiting for you to come over and unpack it. I'll give you a surprise."
"Oh MIS Cheng, you are really my good friend! You understand me so well!" Hill said loudly.
Cheng Hui asked someone to carry out the three large boxes that had just arrived.
Inside the wooden box is a cardboard box, then foam, boxes, and cotton, layer upon layer.
Finally, 10 pieces of porcelain were opened, including vases, bowls and plates, and a complete set of tea sets.
Cheng Hui had no intention of cheating him of the diamonds. She was going to exchange them, making an equal exchange at the current prices, and it should "look" like she was going to suffer a loss, otherwise there would be suspicion of taking advantage.
When she took out the porcelain, she also brought the receipt, which was the receipt for the price the antique shop could pay for it.
Please note that it means purchase price, not the selling price of the antique shop, but their purchase price.
Cheng Hui took the item to a cultural relic store to get an estimate of the price.
These porcelains came from various sources. Some of them were bought by her in antique shops a few years ago. Of course, they were much cheaper than the current estimated value when they were purchased. Some were originally worth 500 yuan, but are now estimated to be worth 5,000 yuan.
No one can say that the price is wrong. These are antiques and should be priceless treasures. An error of one or two zeros before and after is normal.
There were also some china items she bought in the high street, which were also revalued.
Hill likes Chinese porcelain, especially the antiques. Looking at the exquisite items and the prices which are much cheaper than what he could buy in his own country, he exclaimed "I'm so lucky!"
"Deal! Deal, it must be a deal!" He took out the bag of diamonds and stuffed it into Cheng Hui's hand, for fear that she would go back on her word.
Cheng Hui poured out all the diamonds for the leaders to see, to prevent them from misunderstanding that Hill had added something else.
Of course, the leaders of this country value antiques more than diamonds.
They lost so many treasures in exchange for a few shiny pieces of glass. They all felt sorry for Cheng Hui!
"Mine, all mine!" Hill protected the porcelain on the table like an old hen.
"Okay, I know I've taken advantage of you. Can I get some more diamonds and have someone mail them to me right now?" he said.
Cheng Hui said: "No need, this is fine, the price is similar for both parties."
Hill said one gram costs $2,000, and a total of 25 pills costs $50,000.
The exchange rate in 1977 was 1:1.73.
The porcelain she took out was worth about 100,000 yuan according to the invoice.
The key is that Hill thinks it's worth it.
Cheng Hui said: "You should keep them well and don't damage them. These are non-renewable resources and will definitely become more and more valuable in the future."
She nodded at Hill, telling him not to think she didn't understand the market.
What she gave Hill was an antique that was non-renewable but could appreciate in value, while what Hill gave her was a diamond that was renewable and not very rare. He had to weigh the pros and cons of the two carefully.
She bet that Hill couldn't be sure that a 10-carat diamond would be worth millions or even tens of millions per gram in a few decades.
If we really compare, she is definitely not at a disadvantage.
But Hill now thinks she's at a disadvantage~that's fine.
He immediately said with a guilty look on his face: "I'll send you a few more diamonds later, okay?"
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "No, how about you take care of our business and buy more products? Have you ever considered selling your silk bedding in your hotel?"
Cheng Hui talked to him about business...
"You know how excellent the silk bedding we provide is, and I'm sure many customers have given you feedback." Cheng Hui said, "What do you think of this idea if you limit the sale of the same silk bedding every year, and only customers who have spent a certain amount of money in our store can buy it?"
Hill's eyes lit up: "I think this is a great idea!"
"Of course, only very wealthy guests can afford a set of bedding that costs one or two thousand dollars." Cheng Hui said, "But we can also give each of the other guests a souvenir, such as a customized coffee cup, key chain, nail clippers, etc..."
She mentioned some little tricks for giving away gifts. In short, they should make the people who receive them feel very proud, and let everyone who sees these things know that they have stayed in a very expensive hotel! It is a symbol of status.
Vanity and the love of showing off are human characteristics, and if you use them well, you can make a lot of money, such as with luxury goods.
If a coin is worth 9.9, there is no guarantee that anyone will pick it up if you throw it on the street.
Hill's eyes sparkled as he listened, and he took out a small notebook to take notes.
He knew it was right to have a good relationship with Cheng Hui! This little pile of diamonds is so worth it! He will give it to you next year!
The leaders were also very happy to hear this. They grasped the key point. Cheng Hui was selling a lot of things again, and these were sustainable orders, with new styles every year!
It is actually normal to accept gifts, especially when people give gifts in return, and quite a lot in return.
Tsk, Cheng Hui is good in every way except that she is too wasteful!
It would have been fine if she had spent so much money on some antique bottles and jars, but now she has exchanged them for a pile of broken glass... Mountains of gold and silver would not be enough for her to spend!
No wonder, I heard that Qi Xingbang and Zhang Miaoyu haven’t bought new clothes for several years, and they are still wearing old styles from several years ago! I also heard from the Qi family's nanny that, apart from the vegetables and grains allocated by the higher authorities, the Qi family never went out to buy vegetables and just ate whatever was available.
Did you give her all the money you saved?
Everyone in the room has their own psychological journey, and the one in the side months is the most exciting.
Her eyes were hardly ever taken away from the small pile of diamonds scattered haphazardly on the coffee table.
