As Jiujiu spoke, he had already opened the paper box, revealing the black pearls inside. He had experience, and words were not as convincing as the real thing.
The faces of the staff working in the same field were all stiff.
They were now overwhelmed when they heard about pearls. The rival "Kerry Jewelry" imitated Country R to launch a pearl series, and the business was booming.
Kerry Jewelry's performance was rising rapidly, while Lan Jue's performance was falling sharply.
The two companies have always been in a competitive relationship. The cake is so big. Kerry Jewelry took a big piece of the cake, and the cake of other companies will naturally be smaller. They are worried to death but there is nothing they can do. Even Mr. Ji has been attracted here, so you can imagine how big the performance problem is.
Ji Anchen didn't expect that this person actually came to sell pearls to him, and on the street. Generally speaking, this kind of situation is obviously a liar.
If "Blue Duke" wants pearls, why should it be afraid of not having them?
There are many good pearls, but not many outstanding ones. If the quality does not meet the requirements, "Blue Duke" would rather not sell pearl jewelry. Now all major jewelry stores are following the trend to sell pearls, but "Blue Duke" remains unmoved and walks its own way wholeheartedly.
In addition to not finding the right pearls, the chief designer is too timid. His inspiration depends on the jewelry. The better the jewelry, the better the inspiration.
In addition, regarding the spokesperson for the pearl series of "Kairui Jewelry", the original intended spokesperson was TVB Best Actress Hua Xian, but in the end, the contract was signed by the popular young actress Han Shiqing. In an interview, Han Shiqing was asked about stealing resources from her predecessors, and she innocently and naively answered, "Kairui's new series is positioned for younger people, and I guess Kairui has also considered this issue."
This sentence set off the entire network, and major media reported that Han Shiqing secretly ridiculed Hua Xian for being too old.
The chief designer has been pursuing goddess Hua Xian for so many years, and seeing that the goddess was mocked by the entire network, he was furious and swore that he would never design pearls in his life!
Ji Anchen was helpless, but no matter how mean the chief designer was, he couldn't fire him, because he was his own uncle.
Ji Anchen didn't expect to come across any decent pearls on the street. He took a casual glance and couldn't take his eyes off them.
These pearls are all big. The three largest ones are estimated to be over 20mm, which is already worth collecting. Other pearls are hard to find on the market. Even the smallest ones are larger than common pearls.
The key is that these pearls are very round.
Ji Anchen couldn't help but picked one up to observe carefully. There was no growth mark on the surface of the pearl. It was round and shiny. The pearl had a strong light sensitivity. The reflected sunlight was dazzling. The surrounding environment was projected on the surface of the pearl. It was clear and bright, and the image quality was uniform and sharp without any deformation.
The pearl is pure black with a slight blue tint. In the halo, there seems to be golden starlight. Ji Anchen thought he was seeing things, so he took it closer. The golden dots were still there in the halo, like a black planet surrounded by an elusive galaxy.
He picked up the pearl and looked at it in the sunlight. The skin was translucent and the color was soft. The halo at this time turned into seven colors. The golden starlight was still there, floating slowly in the halo.
The Ji family has been jewelers for generations. The Ji family has seen countless treasures, but Ji Anchen has never seen such a beautiful pearl.
Ji Anchen was shocked, but his face showed no sign of it. He put the pearl back into the box and asked Jiu Jiu to go to the store to talk.
Xiao Ji, who was about to leave, turned back halfway and took someone to the reception room.
Li Na, standing at the door of Kairui Jewelry, asked her colleague in disbelief, "Did you see it? He was invited in by the people from Blue Duke Jewelry."
There were many familiar faces in the group of people, including the sales manager and store manager of Blue Duke. They were competitors and lived next door to each other, so they saw each other often and it was impossible for them not to know each other.
The colleague asked hesitantly, "Didn't you see the pearls he wanted to sell?"
Li Na was nervous, "No, he said he wanted to sell pearls, so I... just went to receive other guests."
The colleague stared at her for a while without saying anything.
After Li Na went to receive the customers, the colleague went to find the store manager and quietly told him about the matter.
The store manager heard that Mr. Ji from "Blue Duke" would come to the store for inspection today. If the person selling pearls was really invited to the store by Mr. Ji, it meant that the pearls were definitely not simple.
The store manager did not dare to delay and immediately called the sales manager to tell him about the matter.
Zhao Weiqi hurried to the store, and the store manager was standing at the door.
Zhao Weiqi asked in a low voice: "Has the person come out?"
The store manager shook his head, "No, I've been watching, and he hasn't come out yet."
Li Na saw that the store manager and the sales manager were standing at the door and looking at the opposite side. She felt a little guilty and avoided them from a distance, not daring to get close.
In the reception room, there were only Ji Anchen and Lu Jiu.
Ji Anchen said slowly, "How many pearls like this do you have?"
"Only this much at the moment." There may be more in the future, but he hasn't tasted them yet.
Ji Anchen said bluntly, "What I mean is, do you have a stable supply channel? The price will be different if you sell it only once and if you supply it for a long time."
Long-term supply is equivalent to long-term cooperation, and the price will definitely be the best.
Lu Jiu understood what he meant, "I'm sorry, I'm not a professional pearl collector."
Ji Anchen thought for a moment, "What if you provide it occasionally?"
Lu Jiu shook his head, indicating that he couldn't guarantee it.
"What price can Mr. Ji offer for these pearls?"
Ji Anchen picked up a pearl and squeezed it in his hand. It felt soft to the touch. "For these pearls, the highest I can offer is 5 million."
Lu Jiu was mentally prepared. This price sounded high, but it was still far from the estimated price given by the system.
Lu Jiu said: "The black star beads have a good nourishing effect on the wearer's body."
Ji Anchen: "I know, and I also know that wearing pearls for a long time is good for the body."
Lu Jiu: "..."
He knew that no one would believe empty words.
Lu Jiu was in urgent need of money, and Xiao Ji could always give this price. He was already a conscientious businessman.
Lu Jiu agreed to sell it.
"In addition, I would like to sign an agreement with you. If you have this kind of pearls in the future and want to sell them, please give priority to our Blue Duke Jewelry. If possible, I would like to get the exclusive sales rights for this kind of pearls."
Ji Anchen said, "If you agree, I can add another 10 million."
Lu Jiu shook his head, "That's not possible."
Ji Anchen: "20 million."
Lu Jiu still shook his head.
Ji Anchen: "Don't you think about it?"
"Don't think about it. I'll sell it to you for 5 million this time. You may not be able to buy these pearls with 50 million next time. If you have elderly people at home, I suggest you keep some for them. It will help deepen your sleep and relieve fatigue. If you miss this time, you may not be able to encounter this kind of pearls next time."
Ji Anchen stared into Lu Jiu's eyes and saw that he didn't seem to be joking.
"Can I ask why you don't sell the sales rights? Is there a cooperating merchant who is interested?"
"No, I just don't want to put shackles on myself."
He hasn't gotten rid of the shackles of "Chuangxing" yet, and he can't put another layer on himself. He is now instinctively alert when he hears about agreements and contracts. The routines are too deep, he can't play it, so he simply doesn't play it.
Ji Anchen no longer forced himself, bought the pearls, and personally sent Lu Jiu out.
From beginning to end, Ji Anchen never saw what Lu Jiu looked like.
The sales manager and store manager of "Kairui" waited until Lu Jiu left, and the sales manager followed her and stopped her at a corner.
"Hello, I'm Zhao Weiqi, the sales manager of Kerry. I wasn't there when you went to the store to sell pearls. Can I take a look at the pearls?"
"Sorry, the pearls have been sold."
Ru Jiu wanted to leave, but Zhao Weiqi stopped him again, "When will you have the pearls? I want to see them first."
Ru Jiu: "It's hard to say. If you want to see them, you can wait and see Blue Duke's pearl jewelry."
Zhao Weiqi: "..."
With the arrogance of "Blue Duke", Blue Duke was able to launch pearl jewelry. What quality of pearls must be these? Ru Jiu
was in a hurry to buy them, but the other party thought they were good things after buying them. Ru Jiu could more or less guess what he was thinking, but it was a pity that good things could not wait.
Jiu went to the real estate agency and transferred the remaining balance of the house to the old couple. He then went to the decoration company to discuss the decoration of the first floor. Then he took his credentials to apply for a business license.
In the evening, Ji Anchen had just arrived at the old house when Ji Nanzhou arrived.
"Achen, where are the pearls? Let me see them."
After Ji Anchen bought the black star beads, he sent a video to his uncle to let him see the pearls he bought.
When Ji Nanzhou saw the size and appearance of the pearls, he couldn't sit still on the spot and wanted to take the pearls. Ji Anchen said he was busy and had to go to inspect other stores. He would talk about it in the evening. He kept Ji Nanzhou hanging for the whole afternoon.
Ji Nanzhou was so anxious that he chased to see the pearls.
"Why do you want to see pearls when I heard that someone swore not to design pearl jewelry?" Old Lady Ji came down from the upstairs.
Ji Nanzhou was choked, "Then, then I didn't see the good stuff, did I?"
He turned around and asked for the pearls again, "I already have an idea, hurry up and make it, maybe I can make it to the Golden Drama Awards. This time, I must let Ah Xian trample that little star into the mud."
Ji Anchen handed the wooden box in his hand to Ji Nanzhou. The box was lined with soft velvet and filled with a box of black pearls.
Ji Nanzhou had been thinking about it for an afternoon, and finally saw the real thing. He picked up one and observed it carefully, and was amazed.
When he found the golden starlight in the halo, he cried out, "What is this? Starlight? The Milky Way? This is so beautiful!"
Ji Nanzhou couldn't let it go, and looked at every one of them carefully, and then found that the number was wrong.
"Aren't there 33 pearls? Why are there only 30?"
Ji Anchen said, "The diameter of the three largest pearls exceeds 20mm, so I kept them."
Ji Nanzhou: "..."
Ji Nanzhou: "Why did you keep them? Do you want to wear pearls?"
Ji Anchen took out another small box and handed it to Mrs. Ji, "I heard from the pearl seller that this kind of pearl can deepen sleep and eliminate fatigue. I don't know if it's true or not. Grandma has been suffering from insomnia recently. Why not give it a try?"
Regardless of whether what Jiu said was true or not, Ji Anchen was really reluctant to sell such beautiful pearls and planned to leave them to his family.
Old Madam Ji looked at the three big pearls in the box and sighed, "It's not my health problem, I'm just worried about your aunt. How could she get this disease with only one grandson?
I saw your aunt yesterday. She has lost a lot of weight in just a few days and couldn't sleep all night. Your grandfather asked people to find famous doctors every day. If he could find one, the Si family would have found it long ago."
Ji Anchen comforted the old lady and agreed to go to the hospital together tomorrow.
