"In a few days, I will send a few people to help you gather other people who know the art of black copper inlay. After this is over, you can all bring your tools and come to Shanghai."
Ye Chen gave instructions.
Du Fengjun's abilities are limited on his own. Although his skills are very high, his other abilities are hard to say.
Previously, Ye Chen's company had hired a manager from a headhunting firm, and Ye Chen planned to send him, along with several other elites.
To conduct this small experiment myself, the location must be in Shanghai, which is closer to him and more convenient. Kunming is too far away, and various things would be troublesome.
"Yes, boss."
Du Fengjun agreed.
He also understood his responsibilities. The boss was willing to offer him a sky-high annual salary of five million, and his main role was to find top craftsmen for the boss, while making Wutong Zouyin was secondary.
After giving his contact information to Du Fengjun, Ye Chen planned to leave with Su Ningshuang.
Before leaving, however, he planned to pick out a few pieces of bronze and silver inlaid artwork with Su Ningshuang to take back with him.
"By the way, boss, please wait a moment."
Upon seeing this, Du Fengjun hesitated for a moment and then asked Ye Chen to wait a little while.
Under the astonished gazes of Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang, Du Fengjun strode into the back of the shop. A few minutes later, Du Fengjun returned carrying an ancient wooden box.
Du Fengjun opened the wooden box and carefully took out a special piece of art made of black copper inlaid with silver, or more accurately, a three-legged tripod made of black copper inlaid with gold.
Compared to the other bronze and silver inlaid pieces in the shop, this three-legged cauldron appears more solemn, magnificent, and exquisite. Moreover, it possesses an indescribable sense of vicissitude, unmatched by any other item in the shop!
"Boss, this is a top-notch piece of black copper with gold plating, passed down from my ancestors. It is the pinnacle of this craft. To this day, I'm afraid no one can create a piece of this caliber."
Du Fengjun began to explain.
This three-legged ding is the most prized possession of their shop. It has been passed down through generations and is not for sale. It represents the pinnacle of the black copper inlay silver technique and can be considered a priceless treasure!
"Seeing how much you appreciate the 'black copper inlaid with silver' technique, I'd like to give it to you."
To express his gratitude to Ye Chen, Du Fengjun decided to give this priceless treasure to Ye Chen.
"Young man, please accept this. It's a small token of my father's appreciation. We'd feel bad if you didn't accept it."
Beside them, Du Fengjun's daughter also spoke sincerely. She was very grateful to Ye Chen. Without Ye Chen, their shop would probably have been smashed, and they would have been in debt. She couldn't believe what their future would have been like.
Luckily, this young man stepped in.
In the end, Ye Chen agreed to accept this treasure, as he also liked the piece very much.
He also selected several other pieces of black copper with silver and black copper with gold, which he planned to take back to his elders. Su Ningshuang also selected a few smaller pieces.
Ye Chen had selected quite a few handicrafts, so he arranged for them all to be transported to the airport and loaded onto his private jet. He planned to take them back with him when he returned to Shanghai.
After settling everything, Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang parted ways with Du Fengjun and his daughter to travel to other parts of Chuncheng.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the famous Jinma Biji Archway in Kunming, which has a history of more than 400 years.

Ye Chen clocked in as usual.........
On the first day, Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang visited three different attractions and also sampled many local delicacies.
The next day, the two visited another attraction – the Dadieshui Waterfall.
As soon as I arrived, the game sent me a notification.

[Check if you've reached the Dadieshui Waterfall and checked off the list.]
"Check-in".
Ye Chen immediately checked in.

[Check-in successful]
[Visit four different attractions in Kunming and complete the challenge]
[Congratulations on acquiring one-third ownership of the Krell Technology Institute (the ownership purchase contract has been placed in your villa No. 8 in Dan Palace, please check it)]
Congratulations on receiving 138 experience points!
Congratulations on receiving 61 Mall Points!
Ye Chen successfully completed his daily challenge and gained ownership of one-third of the Krell Technology Research Institute.
With the gift from the owner of Bain International Capital Group, Ye Chen now owns two-thirds of the Krell Technology Research Institute, making him the true controller of the institute and giving him absolute power.
From now on, the Krell Institute of Technology will no longer have a system of rotating directors.
Ye Chen was in a good mood.
It's a pity the weekend was too short; two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang hadn't had enough fun.
"Let's come back during the winter break, and stay in Kunming and other places around for a while to have some fun."
Su Ningshuang suggested.
There's not enough time now, let's wait until winter break when we have more time.
Moreover, while other places are very cold during the winter vacation, Kunming is very warm. Kunming is called Kunming because it has a pleasant climate all year round.
Moreover, it's not just Kunming; there are many famous attractions in the surrounding cities, such as Shangri-La, Erhai Lake, Lijiang Old Town, Lugu Lake in Lijiang, and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, enough for them to enjoy for quite some time.
"What a coincidence, that's what I was thinking too."
Ye Chen nodded; he happened to have the same idea.
After enjoying a special dinner in Kunming, the two boarded a private jet and returned to Shanghai.
Upon returning to Shanghai, Ye Chen immediately dispatched his men to Kunming to help Du Fengjun and his daughter recruit top-notch artisans.
The next day, Ye Chen received a call from Roderick, the owner of Byrne International Capital Group.
Previously, Roderick had contacted Adabote, an executive of the First Royal Bank of the oil-producing country, as Ye Chen had instructed, and the latter had agreed to come to Shanghai for a meal, but only because of Ye Chen.
So Roderick invited Ye Chen to dinner, acting as a middleman.
Where tonight?
Ye Chen asked, "This is the idea I gave Roderick before."
He's already given himself a third of the ownership of the Krell Institute of Technology, so it's reasonable for him to act as an intermediary.
