Chapter 225: Spent a Million Hong Kong Dollars on Jewelry...
Chapter 225
Lin Mujin and Xu Tong had dinner at the restaurant in the morning and did not go out afterwards.
At nine o'clock, Manager Zhao came with an employee and a plainclothes officer.
Lin Mujin is naturally not a person with sharp eyes and golden pupils, she introduced herself.
The three of them brought a large suitcase.
Manager Zhao opened them one by one, and inside were wooden boxes of various shapes, long, flat...
"Manager Zhao, can I open it and take a look?" Lin Mujin asked.
She doesn't have X-ray vision, so she definitely needs to open it, but asking is polite.
Manager Zhao made a gesture of "please feel free to do as you please".
But he still sat next to him and didn't move away.
Lin Mujin understood that she had to keep an eye on so many treasures.
She didn't pick one, but just picked up a square flat box from above, which was about the size of two adult men's palms.
He opened it with one hand, and inside was all kinds of pearl necklaces.
Lin Mujin was not very interested and put it aside.
She took out another big box and opened it. It was very dazzling. It was a set of diamond jewelry, including a necklace, ring and earrings.
It's just a white diamond, and she's not very interested in it.
Manager Zhao spoke up, "Ms. Lin, aren't you satisfied with this set of diamond jewelry? I know diamonds are very valuable overseas."
Lin Mujin smiled and said, "I prefer colored gems, like the pink diamond I bought in Huaiguo yesterday. I'm not very interested in white diamonds."
Continue unpacking.
Regardless of whether she buys it or not, she is very happy just by opening the box.
The third box was the size of a palm and opened directly.
Lin Mujin narrowed her eyes unconsciously when she saw something she liked.
There is a cloth partition inside and two rings.
Two large sugar tower rings, one with ruby and one with sapphire.
She put the box aside.
Then I picked out eight more boxes.
"Manager Zhao, I have picked so many initially, and I still need to fine-tune them. I'm sorry for wasting my time." Lin Mujin said sorry, but her hands were moving quickly.
She actually doesn't know that much about gems, but she can still see whether there are big bubbles, cracks, or cotton wool.
She picked out two that she didn't want, and the rest were all her favorites.
The only pity is that there are too few sets of jewelry.
There was only one set with emeralds, a small crown, a pair of earrings, a necklace, a ring, a bracelet and a brooch.
"Manager Zhao, how much is this? I'll pay in Hong Kong dollars," Lin Mujin asked.
Manager Zhao asked the employee next to him to settle the bill directly.
The other party took out an abacus.
He started dialing with a click.
"Manager, this is the number."
Manager Zhao pondered for a moment, "One million and a half Hong Kong dollars."
Lin Mujin almost choked on her own saliva, "Manager Zhao, you're taking advantage of me!"
The reason why she came to the inland to buy jewelry was because it was cheap.
Manager Zhao was a little embarrassed. "Ms. Lin, these are the best we have. They should be more valuable if we sell them abroad."
Lin Mujin spread her hands. "But this is China. We should follow the local customs and calculate according to the domestic prices. Besides, I didn't ask for the most expensive diamond. No, I want a yellow diamond ring, but you should know that colored diamonds are not valuable."
That’s right, colored diamonds are not as valuable as white diamonds internationally now.
Manager Zhao was a little unwilling, "But you chose a lot, so they can't be too cheap. Besides, these jewels have huge potential for appreciation in value in the future."
Lin Mujin continued to smile, "Of course, I don't want it for free, but please ask Manager Zhao to set the price based on the current actual situation."
"Now" she emphasized.
She is spending money to buy it now, not later. She knows that it will appreciate in value, otherwise she would not buy it.
Manager Zhao said with some distress, "Then it's 1.3 million. We are very sincere."
Lin Mujin immediately gave a price, "One million. I don't want any more."
Manager Zhao took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "This... this won't do. It's too little."
Lin Mujin said, "I think this is a reasonable price."
Afterwards, she said firmly that she would not add any more.
In fact, judging by the jewelry she bought in Huaiguo yesterday, the price given today is not low.
Not to mention that foreign exchange is very popular nowadays.
So she was sure that the other party would give in.
Sure enough, seeing that she was unwilling to add any more, Manager Zhao finally compromised.
Then we need to agree on how to trade.
It's impossible to let Lin Mujin take her away now because the money hasn't arrived yet.
Lin Mujin didn't dare let them take it away, what if they replaced it with a fake one.
Even if you don't exchange it for a fake one, you can exchange it for something of poor quality.
The lower the quality of the jewelry, the lower the price.
That is to say, jewelry is not so valued in China now, so she was able to find a bargain.
"Manager Zhao, I will take photos of the jewelry I have selected, and then we will both send people to lock the jewelry in the bank. Each party will provide a password, and only when both passwords are correct can we pick up the goods. I will transfer the money to you when I return to Hong Kong, and then send someone to find you to pick up the goods together. Do you think this is okay?" Lin Mujin felt that this method was the best at the moment.
Locking it in the bank ensures safety.
Moreover, if it is placed with a third party, neither party can interfere, which is safer for both parties.
In fact, I still prefer Manager Zhao. After all, it is a domestic bank. If it can be done through connections... it is not impossible.
So she planned to keep something in reserve.
She wanted to leave Xu Tong behind to monitor Manager Zhao and see if he would go to the bank.
Manager Zhao thought this was a good idea and said, "Okay."
Lin Mujin asked, "Which bank did you deposit the jewelry in?"
Manager Zhao replied, "People's Construction Bank."
Lin Mujin said, "Then I'll put the jewelry I selected in the Bank of China. Keep them separate and don't mix them up."
Manager Zhao understood what she meant and did not raise any objections.
Lin Mujin took out her camera and started taking pictures quickly, then took out a notebook to take notes.
Then he took Xu Tong aside and talked for a long time before letting her go with him to handle the storage.
Xu Tong came back very late because after finishing the jewelry storage business, she went to buy a plane ticket.
"Ms. Lin, can you do it yourself?" Xu Tong was a little worried.
But the boss ordered me not to leave her side.
Lin Mujin said, "You can take me to the plane tomorrow, and Qin Zheng will pick me up when I land. There's no danger. Don't worry. Didn't Qin Zheng ask you to do as I said? That proves he agrees."
Xu Tong nodded, "That's what the boss ordered. He will be waiting for you at the airport early."
Lin Mujin said, "Well, thank you for your help. I will transfer the money to them when I return to Hong Kong. After all, it is an international transfer, so it will take a while for the money to arrive. I will call the hotel to contact you when the time comes."
Xu Tong said, "Ms. Lin, I won't live here. I'll find a guesthouse near Manager Zhao's home so it's easier to monitor him."
Lin Mujin asked, "But how can I contact you?"
Xu Tong had already thought about it, "I'll call my boss every morning at nine o'clock."
Lin Mujin thought about it and nodded in agreement, taking out a wad of RMB and saying, "This is for your activity funds."
