Chapter 155
Mr. Hunter used to be in the cement business. Not everyone can do this business in the United States because the threshold is high, so he made a lot of money.
But he has a hobby. He likes to collect watches, especially mechanical watches. He has a house dedicated to storing watches. It is like a small art gallery with various clocks, watches, and some antiques. He has numbered these collections into volumes. .
After he purchased Cartier's business, he devoted most of his efforts to it. However, in more than two years, the watch business showed no improvement, while the jewelry had been selling well due to its previous reputation.
Since the beginning of this century, Cartier jewelry has always had the reputation of royal jewelry. It has frequent business contacts with European royal families. Royal members will customize crowns in Cartier. These histories have given Cartier the title of royal jewelry.
They also know that if Cartier wants to continue its business, it must pay attention to the jewelry business.
The rough stone auction house in Canada was also a new channel they found, but unexpectedly, Hunter's son never came back once he left.
More than a week after his son disappeared, Mr. Hunter no longer cared about Cartier’s business, which was why he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to sell it.
"Beautiful lady, why are you back?" The white man was extremely surprised when he saw Lin Wei.
"I came back right after finishing my work, what's weird?" Lin Wei said slowly.
The other party looked at the valuable rough stone in his hand and said with a smile: "Your behavior is really unpredictable."
"This will prevent people from finding the rules. My uncle only takes a fixed route every day. , will make people find the pattern. He was kidnapped. My grandfather paid a ransom of 100 million, and in the end he didn’t even see the body. You don’t know, we yellow people can be easily targeted and we don’t have local connections. If something goes wrong, you can only be slaughtered."
The white man took a breath, not because he heard about the kidnapping, but because of the number 100 million. How rich is the person in front of him?
If successful, this commission will definitely make him a fortune.
"How long will you stay this time?" the white guy asked.
"We'll leave tomorrow afternoon," Lin Wei replied casually, then pointed at Yuan Yuan and said, "Still doing the same as before, doing the shipping business."
"So fast?"
"People's time is very precious, I hate wasting it. The man of time." Lin Wei said with a little carelessness and didn't linger much before turning around and leaving.
"Miss..." the other party called Lin Wei.
Lin Wei turned her head in confusion.
"Do you still have that black card?"
Lin Wei's eyes were confused for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "The card you gave me last time you mentioned? Ah, I forgot it, I don't know where to put it. "What is that?"
The white guy smiled mysteriously and motioned for Lin Wei to come closer. Then he waited for her to get closer before whispering something mysteriously to Lin Wei.
Lin Wei looked at him in astonishment: "Royal gems?"
The white man made a hissing gesture: "I heard that a batch of treasures have been trafficked from China recently, and I am anxious to take action."
Lin Wei almost couldn't hold back, This person doesn't know anything about the current situation in the country. Even a fly can't fly out and returns the treasure.
"Really?" Lin Wei looked frustrated, "But I lost the card."
"It doesn't matter, I have a spare here. You have the right to do what you want when you spend with us. There is an auction tonight. Yes, you are very lucky."
...
"Is it too dangerous?"
Everyone looked at the card in Lin Wei's hand and didn't agree with her taking the risk.
"It's not me. What's the danger?" Lin Wei gave them a strange look. Why do these people have such strange thoughts? She cherishes her life, okay? She wouldn't risk her life with anyone unless it was absolutely necessary.
No matter how important her career is, it's not worth fighting for.
She gave the card to Mr. Hunter: "I suggest you go find the diamantaire here. They are most likely acting behind the boss's back. In order to avoid reputation damage, the boss will not sit idly by."
"Yes. ," Ji Chengjun said, "The diamond merchants are very powerful and have good relations with the local government. It would be best to have them help."
"Aren't they in the same group?" Jin Xin was worried,
"Maybe. They are not very sexy, diamond merchants, who can make more money than them? They are crazy and doing this kind of thing. It is most likely that these crazy people have set their sights on this place and bribed the employees here."
Mr. Hunter trembled . Taking the card, he closed his eyes and clutched his chest in grief. This situation was really the worst possibility he had imagined.
Hunter's son has been missing for almost ten days, and there is a high probability that the situation is in danger. All he can do now is to find the body and avenge his son.
Naturally, I was filled with grief.
Mr. Hunter accepted Lin Wei's suggestion, expressed his gratitude, and left with the others.
"Unexpectedly, we were pretty lucky," Qu Zhiheng said after the others left. "There are twists and turns, God helps us."
"It was almost, if we weren't in such a tight schedule, I would have fallen into their trap." Aman Deshi had no doubts at all, and he couldn't let go of this matter, and wanted to go back and take a look.
Jin Xin also said: "We have helped Mr. Hunter such a big favor. If they choose to sell it to others in the end, it will really open my eyes."
"It's impossible," Ji Chengjun said with his chest in his arms, "That would be really It's boring. If the news spreads, will they lose face?"
Lin Weijun looked at them and said nothing.
"What's wrong?" Ji Chengjun paid close attention to her every move.
"No..." Lin Wei shook her head and sighed, "You are all so confident, I can't help but beat the drum in my heart."
"Don't scare us."
Lin Wei smiled and said, "You're just kidding, we are really lucky. , go back to the hotel, you can have a good night's rest."
Armand looked at her with some suspicion, didn't she have a good rest before?
This person's sleep quality is amazing. He can fall asleep without even finishing a sentence while talking.
Several people returned to the hotel, and two days later, they received good news.
This group of people was exterminated by the local government.
For the sake of reputation, the diamond merchant even approached Lin Wei and promised that there would be discounts for future cooperation. He also gave her gifts to calm her down and begged them not to make it public.
"It's okay if we agree, and there's nothing to lose. Mr. Hunter also agreed?" Jin Xin asked.
Lin Wei had just finished meeting the diamond merchant, took the water from Yang Zhenfeng and said, "He agreed."
Huh?
Lin Wei said: "Hunter's son is not dead."
What?
"This man is also smart. He always said that if his family had money, he could pay the ransom and draw a cake for them. Then they split into two groups. One group wanted the ransom, and the other group didn't want to break the rules. When the two parties couldn't reach a stalemate, they threw him into the basement. There was no one to bring him food. He was locked up with the corpse for several days. He only managed to survive. He would have starved to death in a few days. His assistant was not so lucky and died on the first day. "
Ji Chengjun sat down next to Lin Wei and couldn't help but sigh: "That's really a big deal."
Jin Xina tore off a chicken leg and gave it to Lin Wei: "What about Mr. Hunter? Lin Wei disliked being greasy and waved her hand: "
My son has been sent to the local hospital. He doesn't expect us at this time... It's understandable. Let's wait a little longer."
They are all in the same hotel now, and they will meet sooner or later.
Lin Wei and the others did not wait long before they received the gifts from Mr. Hunter.
The gifts were very valuable, including gold bars, jewelry, and Cartier's collector's edition antique watches. Everyone had a copy. A small gold clock from Cartier was also given to Lin Wei, which is very collectible.
Everyone happily received the gifts.
Lin Wei's face didn't look good.
Mr. Hunter's face in front of him was glowing red, and his previous depression was gone, and his face was full of joy.
Lin Wei said: "Congratulations to Mr. Hunter's family reunion. Should our cooperation be put on the agenda?"
Speaking of this, Mr. Hunter paused, put down his coffee, and said with great embarrassment: "Sorry, Lin "Miss, my son doesn't want me to sell Cartier's business. He doesn't want to cause his father to lose his beloved career because of himself. If so, he will definitely fall into deep self-blame."
Huh?
The expressions on everyone's faces froze.
What's the meaning?
I worked hard on co-authoring, negotiating and rescuing people, but not only did I fail to win it, but I also changed from being willing to sell it to not selling it.
After a long day of work, are you going backwards?
What went wrong?
Mr. Hunter said: "I'm sorry, you can make other requests, and I will try my best to meet them. I can't promise you this. I was frustrated because of Charlie's matter. If I hadn't purchased rough stones, he wouldn't have He will go missing in Canada, but now that he has returned safely, I don't have to sell Cartier anymore. "
"Then who can guarantee that next time..."
Ji Chengjun stopped the angry Jin Xin and said, "Mr. Hunter, too. "Won't you sell it to others?"
"Of course, no matter how much money you pay, I won't sell it. If I have this idea, I will definitely not consider others. I will give priority to you."
Everyone looked at Lin Wei about this . She still has to make the decision.
Lin Wei looked at the little golden clock in front of her and was speechless. The reason why she was sure that the other party would sell Cartier before was mainly because she thought that the other party would sell it sooner or later, otherwise they would not be part of the same family. Lin Wei had never heard of Cartier splitting up the family. thing, so I guess it won’t take too long.
But if the opportunity to sell the U.S. business was due to this accident, then Lin Wei and the others were self-defeating.
What is this thing called?
"Isn't Mr. Hunter fooling us? Will you sell it to someone else as soon as we turn around?" Lin Wei said.
"How is that possible?" Hunter's face looked a little bad, "No one has ever questioned my integrity."
Lin Wei smiled noncommittally, pushed back the little golden clock in front of her, and said, "No need for thank you gifts or anything like that. , We are not here to make friends, we are here to discuss business. We cannot go in vain. If what Mr. Hunter said is true, otherwise just sign a contract with us. If you want to sell Cartier, we are The first candidate, otherwise he will have to pay huge compensation."
After hearing what Lin Wei said, the others took the gifts to the front, and then all looked at Hunter.
"You..."
Hunter was angry when he saw them, but he also thought that these people were indeed his son's saviors, and it was not completely incomprehensible to live in such a different place. However, he still felt that the behavior of Lin Wei's group was very unpleasant.
"If this reassures you, I can sign this contract with you, but the gift does not need to be returned. I don't want others to say bad things about me, old Hunter, behind my back."
In this way, Lin Wei and the others took a piece of paper that was not I know if there is any useful contract to go back to France.
"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on him and visit him from time to time." Ji Chengjun said.
"Isn't this funny?" Jin Xin still couldn't let go of the result. "After a lot of trouble, this is the result."
On the plane, several people were still discussing the matter.
"It doesn't matter, I think it's just a matter of time," Qu Zhiheng said, "They are completely amateurs, and sooner or later they will not be able to continue operating."
Seeing Lin Wei frowning all the time, Ji Chengjun asked: "Mr. Lin, do you have any other questions?"
"Fan Gui is really not particular about giving clocks to people," Lin Wei looked dissatisfied and a little angry, "I don't want to accept it but give it away forcefully. It's annoying."
"..."
Their boss is really superstitious. He has heard this before. They say businessmen are superstitious, but I didn’t expect that my boss, who was so young, was also superstitious.
Only Armand didn't understand this, because she spoke in Chinese and didn't understand why the air was quiet.
"When I get back, I'm going to the temple to pray and get rid of bad luck." Lin Wei sighed.
Everyone smiled and agreed, saying that they really should pay their respects. The boss was far-sighted and was planning for the future of the company.
Hearing what everyone said, Lin Wei felt a little relieved, and then asked: "Who was the one who was one step ahead of us? Did you see the person? French or American?"
She was at the watch counter at the time, and these people left It should be the side door, but she didn't see it.
I had known to ask earlier, but I just remembered now.
The Americans are easy to deal with, even if they are the French, which means that the other party is targeting three companies.
"French people, you can tell at a glance." Armand said immediately.
Ji Chengjun said: "You can tell by looking at the clothes of Tibeli people, their style has not gone away."
Jin Xin was stunned: "Can you all see that?"
"What do I do?" Ji Chengjun disagreed.
Qu Zhiheng glanced at her and it seemed that he still had a lot to work hard on.
Lin Wei had a headache. They were afraid that they had also come into contact with her in the UK.
Forget it for now and concentrate on preparing for this fashion week.
During the spring and summer fashion week, Lin Wei was really not worried at all.
This season's clothes are the most beautiful, and they have created several textured light colors. Using color as a theme will definitely be eye-catching.
The finale of the show was the diamond starry sky dress that shocked the audience.
The skirt had been finished a long time ago, and several gems on the chest were replaced to make it more luxurious. The diamond tassels that reached the waist, and the blue long skirt studded with diamonds, were dazzling and even more dreamy under the light.
This diamond and crystal dress is said to be worth tens of millions of dollars. It is completely hand-sewn and embroidered with gold thread. It stunned everyone when it appeared.
What is even more amazing are the hair crowns, rings, necklaces, brooches, pendants...
The smallest diamond in the accessories is no less than 10 carats, and the largest one is 98 carats.
Under the flashing lights, the dress successfully appeared on the front pages and covers of various fashion media and magazines the next day.
Then this skirt was hung in the store as a treasure of the store.
It attracted many people who came to watch.
Chateau Aimeng is also lively again.
Fashion shows are the most tiring. Every time you come down, you feel like your skin has been peeled off. Various situations may happen, but the harder it is, the more satisfying it is to celebrate the victory.
It's a pity that Lin Wei didn't enjoy the fruits of this victory very much, so she flew to the UK with Jin Xin and Yang Zhenfeng, leaving Ji Chengjun and the others to wrap up the fashion week.
Fortunately, this time I met the person in charge of Tibeli. The enemy was extremely jealous when they met.
This old British man was different from the bad-tempered Hunter. He had a very kind attitude and gave them a "great" idea.
"Otherwise, you two can solve it on your own," the old man said with his cane. "At this time, I will take my Ollie out to relax. I hope that when I come back, there will be a resolution between you."
"..."
Right now When they were shocked, they saw the clerk bring in a Labrador.
"Mr. Giles, I can accompany..."
Lin Wei's words were interrupted, and the old man said: "No, my Ollie doesn't like strangers.
Then the old man left, leaving Lin Wei and Dibberley's National People's Congress Eye to eye.
It's really a headache.
Not to mention her strength, she is more useful than her as a French.
If she can't take down Britain, France will have nothing to lose. The odds are against it.
It’s all hell.
“I’m curious, what did Ms. Lin do to make Mr. Hunter give up the sale plan? "The other party was the first to ask.
Lin Wei: "..."
This is a really good question.
"Mr. Ian may not believe it. I saved Mr. Hunter's son, and as soon as the other party was happy, he stopped selling it.
Ian: "..."
He digested the information and said, "Are you serious? " Lin Wei spread her hands: "
There's no need to lie to you. He wanted to sell it because his son was missing, and now he doesn't want to sell it because his son doesn't want to sell it. Isn't this logic very smooth?" "
Mr. Ian took a deep breath, obviously unable to evaluate the result.
"Ah, by the way," Lin Wei said as if she suddenly remembered, "But Mr. Hunter said that if they want to sell, we are the first candidate. They even signed a contract with us. "After saying that, she blinked her big moist eyes, looking very innocent.
Ian's face changed, and he looked at Lin Wei: "Is what you said true? Lin Wei
did not answer him, but said: "So, Mr. Ian can give up. You can no longer win all of Cartier's business. There is no use occupying a pit."
Ian took a breath and asked, "How will Miss Lin give up? You can put forward conditions, but there is no way I will give up. "
Ian thought she would also say that she would not give up, but he heard Lin Wei say: "If Mr. Ian can prove that you have more business talent than me and can run Cartier well, I will give up. "
"How to prove this? " Ian frowned.
Lin Wei looked at the tulips in the vase and said, "It's useless to talk about this kind of thing. Let's compare it now."
Ian frowned slightly: "How to compare? "
"It's like selling things. Whoever sells the most things will win. If we lose, we will withdraw from Cartier's acquisition. "
"You mean we go to the counter to sell things? "
Lin Wei shook his head: "Then we can't tell the result all day long, so why not go to the nearby neighborhoods and have a look. " "
Ian was a little moved. It would be best if he could get Lin Wei to quit.
He thought he was very eloquent and understood women's thoughts better. He would not lose when selling things.
The two of them had strong execution skills and went directly to the UK The director of Cartier served as a witness. In
the opposite block, there is a market-like place with fruits, vegetables, flowers and gourmet snacks.
Mr. Ian suggested that flowers and small items are cheap and will not be sold for half a day.
Lin Wei thought for a while and agreed.
Ian asked people to buy all the flowers for a temporary bunk. The flowers at this
time were scarce, but they were priced at 2 shillings each.
Set an hour, and you cannot ask for help from others. Whoever loses the game will automatically withdraw from the acquisition. "Ian said.
Lin Wei nodded in agreement.
Then the two of them acted separately and chose two places, one at the end and the other at the end. There were people on both sides responsible for supervision.
"Don't they know about Mr.'s skill in flower arrangement? The flower skirt he designed shocked Paris Fashion Week."
"How could she know? The two of them just exchanged names, so they obviously don't know each other."
"Mr. Ian He is so handsome. If it were me, I would choose to buy from him. "
They wanted to step forward to help, but due to the rules, they could only watch Ian busy alone. Before his first bouquet of flowers was finished, someone came. Asked before.
The first transaction was made effortlessly, and it was bought by a rich lady to arrange a vase.
"Oh my God, it's just art."
"It's so beautiful."
They exclaimed deliberately. Although they couldn't help directly, they could help build momentum.
Jin Xin glared at the two of them, feeling anxious, what should he do?
Seeing Ian's methodical appearance, Mr. Lin was at a disadvantage.
In just a short time, two transactions were completed, and they were bouquets of flowers. Jin Xin couldn't help but become more anxious.
However, Ian's subordinates also had the same idea as him.
"You can choose one of the two games, guessing or flipping cards."
After finding a good location, the first thing Lin Wei did was to buy poker props and scissors.
Then she arranged the flowers, including 1 flower, 5 flowers in a bouquet, and 10 flowers in a bouquet. Although she was not professional, her aesthetics was fine, and the bouquets were simply packaged.
Then she opened the business and wrote on the cardboard in English - if you win, you will get it for free, if you lose, you will buy it at the original price.
But Lin Wei’s original price was directly multiplied by 2.
The eyes of everyone present widened. How could you still play like this?
Lin Wei looked at the guests in front of her with a smile and asked, "Have you made your choice?"
At this time, if you don't use some little tricks from later generations to bully the opponent, it would be really disrespectful to the opponent.
"One, Two, Three..."
Lin Wei held up the scissors and showed a bright smile: "Sir, you chose 5, please pay 1 pound."
Lin Wei happily collected the money, victory was waving to her.
While she was counting the money, she felt it darken in front of her. Someone was sitting down again.
Lin Wei raised her head and showed an enthusiastic smile: "May I ask you to choose..."
Lin Wei was stunned, looking at the white-haired old man in front of her, and then at the Labrador lying at his feet.
"Mr. Giles..."
The other party looked at Lin Wei with a smile, looking kind and kind, very amiable.
"I choose all the flowers left."
