Mitsui Tengzaburo stayed in Xing Baohua's office for about half an hour, but apart from receiving some replies from Xing Baohua, he didn't seem to get any concrete answers.
The mission was accomplished, but unfortunately, Xing Baohua seemed oblivious to the valuable gift he had given. How could he let Xing Baohua know that Mitsui Bank had gone to great lengths to curry favor with him?
Thinking of a treasure, Mitsui Tousaburo became interested.
Now that he was in this building, Mitsui Fujisaburo went upstairs to find Huang Xingyao.
I've given out quite a few gift cards before. Although I didn't bring any gifts this time, I can treat Mr. Huang to a nightclub tonight for drinks, dinner, and karaoke.
Anyway, we've figured out Mr. Huang's preferences.
Upon arriving upstairs, Mr. Huang's secretary told Mitsui Teng that Mr. Huang was in a meeting and asked him to wait a moment.
Then Xie Yingying led Secretary Dong out of General Manager Huang's office. Mitsui Teng quickly stood up from the reception chair, nodding and smiling in greeting.
Xie Yingying ignored him and walked over, while Secretary Dong looked at him curiously.
"His name is Mitsui Fujisaburo. He's the bridge between the boss and Mitsui Bank. Some inconvenient transactions are handled through him," Xie Yingying said, turning her head slightly to introduce him to Secretary Dong, who was following behind her.
"He came here to see General Manager Huang?" Secretary Dong asked as he followed.
"Maybe! This person really likes giving gifts. You have to remember, the boss said as long as you report it, you can accept it. Whether it's a gift, money, or even a gold bar, as long as you report it and get the boss's signature, you can accept it without worry." Xie Yingying told Secretary Dong how to accept gifts openly and legitimately.
"Is that okay? The boss said to catch their sweet talk, eat the sweet talk, and return the bullet. But as long as we don't sell the company's top secrets, it's fine. If we accept the gift but don't do anything, the boss will take responsibility if anything goes wrong." After Xie Yingying finished speaking, Secretary Dong even turned around to look at Mitsui Fujisaburo.
After waiting a few minutes, several more people came out of Huang Xingyao's office. Mitsui Fujisaburo didn't recognize some of them, but nodded to those he did, as a way of saying hello.
When the time came, Huang Xingyao's secretary invited Mitsui Fujisaburo inside.
"Hey! Mitsui Fuji! Didn't you just finish drinking last night? Why are you here again?" Huang Xingyao gathered the materials on his desk, put them in a blue file, and then turned around and placed them in the bookcase behind him.
“I just finished visiting Chairman Xing. I just heard the news today that a batch of new girls have arrived at Emperor's Waterfront. Let’s meet them tonight to see how good-looking they are. Of course, they can’t compare to the girls upstairs, but at least we can take them home,” Mitsui Fujisaburo said with a smile.
Huang Xingyao waved his hand and said, "You've already drunk? I don't have the boss's alcohol tolerance. Let's just forget it! Just tell me what you need me for."
Mitsui Tousaburo appeared to want to speak but dared not, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
After Huang Xingyao sat down, he watched Mitsui Teng's performance and smiled to himself: "Speak your mind. We're friends. If there's anything I can do to help, I definitely will."
"Well... Mr. Huang, I don't know if I should say this or not."
"Why are you being so slow? If you don't speak, how am I supposed to know whether I should speak or not?" Huang Xingyao said patiently. Normally, he would have lost his temper long ago, but recently Mitsui Teng had been giving him gifts and treating him to meals, so he had to give him face.
Perhaps seeing Huang Xingyao's worried expression, Mitsui Fujisaburo said, "I just gave Chairman Xing a precious gift. It seems that Chairman Xing doesn't know the value of the porcelain. I'm really afraid that he will throw it away carelessly and damage the precious porcelain. If you have time, please remind him to take good care of it."
Huang Xingyao was curious about what kind of porcelain Mitsui Teng had given him. He would have to remind Xing Baohua that although Xing Baohua was from the mainland, he was quite cultured and wouldn't just throw away something precious.
With an interested expression, he asked, "What kind of porcelain? Why are you talking about it so seriously?"
"A teacup from the Northern Song Dynasty."
"Goods from the Five Great Kilns?"
Mitsui Fujisaburo nodded and said, "Yes, it's a Ru ware celadon cup. Our chairman specially exchanged it with a private collector. It's a very valuable piece of porcelain."
Because of their scarcity, only about sixty or seventy pieces of Ru ware are currently in major museums, and the number in private collections is unknown. There have been no pieces auctioned, so their prices are also unknown.
But as has been said throughout history, a piece of Ru porcelain is worth more than a fortune.
If even a broken piece of porcelain can be worth a fortune, imagine how much it would fetch at auction!
Huang Xingyao asked, "Is it a shard of porcelain, or a whole piece?"
“Complete and exquisitely crafted.” Mitsui Touichi bowed deeply after saying this.
Huang Xingyao stood up, walked out of his desk, and said to Mitsui Fujisaburo, "You can go back now! Oh, call me again tonight to see if I have time."
After saying that, Huang Xingyao quickly walked out of his office.
He walked to the door and asked his secretary to see Mitsui Fuji out of the house. He then went downstairs to Xing Baohua's office.
At that moment, Xing Baohua was admiring the small teacup when she heard someone knocking on the door. She called out, "Come in."
When Xing Baohua saw that it was Huang Xingyao who came in, he didn't try to hide it and said, "My secretary just said that Mitsui Teng went to your place. Look at the gift he brought me. What did you send?"
"I didn't have anything. We made plans to go to a nightclub tonight, but I can't hold my liquor, so I declined," Huang Xingyao said.
Xing Baohua placed the teacup into the exquisite gift box and asked, "What did he say to you that made you rush downstairs?"
Huang Xingyao pointed to the teacup and said, "He said this is a very exquisite piece of porcelain, and asked me to remind you not to throw it away carelessly. It seems that your casual placement in front of him has made him very anxious."
"Haha! Indeed, I don't know much about these porcelains, calligraphy and paintings, and jades. I just put them in the drawer at the time."
