Zhang Liu's expression relaxed a lot when he heard it was seafood. "It's not easy to open a seafood store in the old street, right? Those rich people won't come here, the old street is too remote."
Lu Jiu: "Not bad."
Grandpa Xu stood at the door and looked at it. "The store is well decorated, in line with the taste of you young people. If it's selling food, it's better to post the menu, otherwise no one will know that this is a place to eat."
Grandpa Xu is the owner of the Lao Xu Tailor Shop next door. He lives alone, his children are all out of town, and the second and third floors are rented out. The business in the store is quiet, but fortunately it's their own house, so they don't have to worry about paying rent.
When buying a house, Grandma Yu and Lu Jiu talked a lot about the old street, and of course they had to focus on the details of the neighbors on both sides.
Grandma Yu emphasized that one should be careful when dealing with Chen's Noodle House, as Chen Dong and his wife are too cunning.
Lu Jiu nodded, "Thank you."
Then he went in and brought out the small blackboard.
Grandpa Xu's words "Come and try it when you have time" were choked in his throat. The price was indeed not low, and it was difficult for ordinary people to spend so much money on a bowl.
Zhang Liu also took a hissing breath when he saw the menu, and turned back to Chen's Noodle House.
Those who were curious about the shop were discouraged by the price.
At noon, Jiang Ge came over and saw two flower baskets next to the golden wheat ears, "Did you buy the flower baskets yourself? Why are there so few flowers?"
He looked up and saw that there were also many flower baskets in the store, which were much more beautiful than the flower baskets outside.
Jiu Jiu glanced at the doorway and saw only Jiang Ge. "No, it was pulled out by someone."
Jiang Ge said, "Tsk, the old people and children here are all very capable. How did you come up with the idea of opening a store here? If you can't find a good store, I can help you find one."
"No, this place is great." This is his own house, his second home, and he likes it very much.
Jiang Ge looked at the deserted store, which should not be open until today. He complained again about the bad location of the store. If it was opened in the city, the business would definitely be booming.
Jiang Ge ordered a large portion of seafood rice again and sat in the hall to eat, chatting while eating.
"The seafood here is so nutritious. I ate too much last night. I walked with a breeze this morning. I have endless energy. Ah Xu is alive and has gone to work on company matters. He will probably come tonight. He can't live without your seafood."
Jiang Ge kept talking. After finishing a large portion of seafood rice, he wanted a portion of silver fish sashimi, but was rejected without hesitation.
Before leaving, he was still muttering that the boss was too Buddhist and really annoying. During
lunch time, Jiang Ge was the only customer. After the time was over, Jiu closed the door and went out. He had to go to "Blue Duke Jewelry". He was given 20 million for no reason. He absolutely could not accept this money. Last time, they had already negotiated the money and goods. He agreed to sell it, so he would not think it was too little.
He took a taxi to the city, and the taxi stopped on the side of the road. Just as Lu Jiu was about to enter the store, he was suddenly stopped by a man who rushed out. Lu Jiu stepped back alertly, thinking that he had encountered a radical black fan.
The man was in a suit and leather shoes, panting, and it was obvious that he had run over.
The man quickly said: "Hello, I am Zhao Weiqi, the sales manager of 'Kerry'. Do you have any pearls in your hand? 'Kerry' is very willing to cooperate with you. If you still have black star beads, please consider 'Kerry'."
The popularity of black star beads completely crushed the "Tiannu Series".
The top management of "Kerry" learned that the Black Star Orb originally belonged to "Kerry", but was rejected by a short-sighted salesman. As a result, "Blue Duke" suppressed it and could not raise its head. Even if the salesman was fired, "Kerry" could not recover its losses.
The incident happened in the store under Zhao Weiqi's jurisdiction. As a sales manager, he was to blame. He alone bore all the anger of the top management. The top management asked him to find this person and buy the Black Star Orb by any means.
Where can he find someone in such a big city like A? He can only use the dumbest method, waiting for the rabbit.
These days, he received calls from the top management every day, asking if he had found the person. Zhao Weiqi was so anxious that he got angry. He drank tea every day to cool himself down. He stood at the door of the store every day, staring at "Blue Duke" eagerly. He was almost waiting for his wife to come back.
Today, he finally got what he wanted. Seeing the familiar long hair, black hat, and black mask, he didn't say a word, and couldn't wait for the green light, and rushed directly through the traffic.
"Sorry."
When Lu Jiu was about to leave, Zhao Weiqi blocked his way again, "Please give 'Kerry' a chance. I am willing to apologize to you for my behavior as a salesperson. You can compensate me in any way you want. 'Kerry''s offer is definitely higher than 'Blue Duke''. Please consider it."
"Excuse me, please move aside." Rujiu wanted to avoid him, but Zhao Weiqi stretched out his hand to pull him in a hurry. Rujiu dodged for a moment, and Zhao Weiqi saw that Rujiu was holding a paper bag, and his eyes lit up immediately, "Are there black star beads in the bag? Do you have black star beads again?"
Zhao Weiqi's voice was not small, and they were on the street, so many people had stopped to watch. Especially when they heard the word "black star beads", those who reacted quickly had already taken out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Rujiu lowered the brim of his hat and was in a hurry to leave, but Zhao Weiqi held him tightly.
At this time, a group of people ran out of the "Blue Duke" store, and the security pulled Zhao Weiqi away and pushed him aside.
Zhang Feiheng, the sales manager of "Blue Duke", was sweating coldly, "Are you okay? Are you not hurt?"
Since the Black Star Bead became popular, Zhang Feiheng has been very proud. The Black Star Bead was bought in his store. The customer flow in the store has increased sharply. Every day, people come to ask about the Black Star Bead. If they don't buy the Black Star Bead, they will buy other jewelry. The performance is soaring.
President Xiao Ji personally ordered him to be alert and notify him immediately if the person selling the Black Star Bead comes again. He has been in the store during this period. He just heard the clerk come to report that the person selling the Black Star Bead has come, but was stopped by the sales manager of "Kerry".
Zhang Feiheng rushed out with the security guards, trying to intercept him halfway, but "Kerry" was dreaming!
Zhang Feiheng politely invited Lu Jiu into the store and asked the store manager to take people to the reception room. He called Mr. Ji and told him about "Kerry" snatching the pearls.
This was also what Ji Anchen was most worried about. He failed to buy the exclusive sales rights of the Black Star Pearl. If the Black Star Pearl could be sold to "Blue Duke", it could be sold to "Kerry" or anyone else.
Ji Anchen rushed over as fast as he could. Lu Jiu had just finished a glass of water.
Lu Jiu got straight to the point, "Mr. Ji, give me an account and I will transfer the money to you."
On the way here, Ji Anchen was thinking that the purpose of this person's visit again was unlikely to be to sell the Black Star Pearl. It might be because of money.
Sure enough, he talked about this matter as soon as they met.
Ji Anchen said: "I didn't know the effect of the Black Star Bead before, and the bid was too low. I want to compensate a little."
"No need. I agreed to sell it for 5 million, and that's 5 million. I feel uneasy taking this money for no reason. Give me an account number."
Ji Anchen looked at him, his eyes were extremely beautiful. "To be honest, I listened to you and left a few black star beads for the elderly at home. Now they eat well, sleep well, and are in good spirits. They all say that my bid is too low, and they urge me to compensate you every day. I have no choice."
Lu Jiu was silent. He could not refuse the old man's kindness.
Seeing that he was somewhat relenting, Ji Anchen continued, "The key is that the Black Star Bead is also very helpful to patients. My cousin couldn't sleep well every night because of his illness. After using the Black Star Bead, he could also fall asleep peacefully. Such a good pearl, I would feel guilty if I didn't give him money."
Lu Jiu: "..."
This "cousin" couldn't be talking about his idol, right?
Think about the video released by Si Shen, which said that his cousin gave him a pearl, and it happened to be the day after he sold the Black Star Bead...
Lu Jiu: "..."
Lu Jiu: "..."
Lu Jiu: "..."
This is too coincidental. Jiang Ge is Si Shen's friend, and Mr. Ji is Si Shen's cousin. What kind of luck is he? He can be related to Si Shen in an industry that is not related at all.
Thinking of the fact that he just sent a Black Star Bead to Si Shen yesterday, Lu Jiu felt a little worried, worried that the vest could not be covered up.
He touched his ear and took out a box from the paper bag. "There are 12 pearls here. Your money can be used to buy these black star pearls."
These are the pearls he found in the small black star shell last night. There are only so many in a shell. He was worried that Mr. Ji would not give him an account, so he used black star pearls to pay for them. He didn't want to owe anyone a favor.
The black star pearls this time were not big, with a diameter between 8mm and 19mm, and they looked very uniform.
The black star pearls were placed in a box of a certain chocolate. The lid of the box was transparent, and the black star pearls inside could be seen at a glance. Ji Anchen held it in his hand and didn't know what expression to put on. Such expensive and rare black star pearls should only stay in a box of a certain chocolate. Ji
Anchen: "Leave me your contact information."
Lu Jiu: "No, I'll come to the store if there's anything."
Ji Anchen had no choice but to give Lu Jiu his business card, hoping that he would contact him.
Lu Jiu took the business card.
Ji Anchen said again: "'Kelly' is bothering you again, do you need my help?"
Ji Anchen wanted to test whether he had any intention of cooperating with "Kelly".
Lu Jiu only gave him two words, "No."
Then he turned and left.
Ji Anchen was not sure what he meant, and it was another day without the exclusive sales rights.
The security of "Blue Duke" was watching closely, guarding against "Kelly"'s people rushing over again, and sent Lu Jiu to the car before returning to the store.
Lu Jiu didn't know that the incident at the door of "Blue Duke" had been photographed and posted on social platforms.
Not many people paid attention to it originally, but with the title of "Black Star Bead Merchant", it was eye-catching. What was even more eye-catching was that the two major jewelry stores "Blue Duke" and "Kerry" openly snatched people on the street, which made the crowd who couldn't afford the black star beads watch a big show. The
sales managers of "Blue Duke" and "Kerry" were both in the camera and were recognized by many people, which further confirmed the fact that the two companies snatched people.
When he received the call from Wen Qin, Si Xu was at the company.
"I think the person in the video looks a bit like Lu Jiu. The long hair is exactly the same as Lu Jiu. They say that person is the black star bead merchant. Is he really him? Did he send you your black star bead?"
After hanging up Wen Qin's phone, Si Xu immediately searched the Internet for this video. The video has become popular. Many people left comments, asking Dachu to find out who the merchant is so that they can buy the raw beads and get bargains.
