Chapter 42: Three-legged Triangle
Xu Youyou thought that she really preferred dealing with girls. Cen Mingzhu spoke more sincerely than those three men.
"Ms. Xu, I can still make a lot of money if I buy this piece of jade at this price, but I also have to be honest with you. Ten billion is my bottom price, and I can't give you any higher." Cen Mingzhu said.
Ten billion is not a small sum of money even for top companies, and anyone who wants to take it out will feel very pressured.
Xu Youyou turned and looked at the three men.
The boss who looked like a big brother said directly: "Ms. Cen, you raised the price too much and broke the rules."
Cen Mingzhu glanced at him and said, "When you rebelled against your master, wasn't that also a violation of the rules?"
The other party didn't expect Cen Mingzhu to expose his shortcomings directly: "Everyone relies on their own ability and goes their own way. This is human nature. Why do you keep bringing up the past?"
Xu Youyou watched the two people talking to each other. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully, always feeling that there was something big and incredible hidden in it.
Cen Mingzhu said: "You all relied on your own abilities back then, and now I also bid based on my own abilities."
The man snorted coldly and said, "You brought so much money in one go, aren't you afraid that you will bring down the entire Cen Jewelry? The Cen family will be ruined in your hands!"
Cen Mingzhu did not take the other party's threat seriously and said, "You are no longer a member of the Cen family, so you don't have to worry about your old master."
The man was so angry that he threw his sleeves and left on the spot.
Liu Guangtou and Sun Laoer took a look at the situation, sighed, and said, "A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Since Miss Cen is still willing to take so much money, we will not compete with you."
Xu Youyou waited for a long time. Although a few more buyers came later, they left on the spot when they heard that someone had already offered a price of 1 billion.
"Miss Cen is very generous. I will sell this piece of jade to you."
Although Cen Mingzhu had always looked like she was confident of winning, she didn't completely relax until she heard Xu Youyou agree.
Cen Mingzhu kept her word. She signed a sales contract with Xu Youyou at the Jade Museum. The finance department of her company went to the bank to transfer the money after receiving the contract.
Only after the money was received did Xu Youyou hand the jade to her.
After the transaction was completed, Xu Youyou also planned to leave, but Cen Mingzhu stopped her.
"Ms. Cen, I don't have a second piece of jade to sell to you." Xu Youyou said.
Cen Mingzhu shook her head, pointed at the handbag Xu Youyou was carrying, and asked, "Miss Xu, is this jade pendant of yours a family heirloom?"
Xu Youyou immediately perked up and asked, "Do you recognize this jade pendant?"
Since the system prompted her to wear the jade pendant close to her body, she found a red string and hung the jade pendant directly on her handbag.
Xu Youyou thought that she would have to wait for a long time before she could get any clues related to the jade pendant, but she didn't expect the news to come so quickly.
Cen Mingzhu said: "Someone is looking for this jade pendant. They value it very much and should be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it."
Xu Youyou said: "That's great, I'll just wait for someone to buy it."
Cen Mingzhu smiled and said, "Miss Xu is straightforward. Although I don't know the name of the person who wants to buy the jade pendant, I can be sure that this is a good thing."
Xu Youyou didn't care whether Cen Mingzhu really didn't know or was unwilling to reveal the other party's true identity. She understood Cen Mingzhu's hint and remembered this favor: "Miss Cen, you are honest and upright. Next time I have good jade materials, I will give priority to you."
After Xu Youyou left, Cen Mingzhu personally watched the people he brought take away the jade that he had bought at a sky-high price.
"Miss, you are very polite to Miss Xu. She was very lucky to get this piece of jade. Do you really think there will be a chance for cooperation next time?" asked the assistant.
Cen Mingzhu's eyes flashed with a stream of light, and she said, "This Miss Xu is not ordinary. She is very close to Mr. Lu and may become Mrs. Lu in the future. Even if she can't become Mrs. Lu, she is so lucky that she may really be able to mine the next piece of top-grade jade. It will definitely be a good idea to have a good relationship with her."
At this time, Xu Youyou was still immersed in the wonderful feeling of earning 1 billion yuan, while the other three people in the car were also in extreme shock.
Xu Fang was better off. After all, she did not go abroad with his employer and had no idea how the stone sculpture was bought. Although she was envious of her employer making a lot of money, she was more happy because, after all, the richer the boss, the more stable her job would be.
But the two bodyguards knew very well that Xu Youyou only spent $10,000 on the stone sculpture.
At that time, Xu Youyou insisted on airlifting the extremely heavy stone sculptures back to the country, and the two of them thought that Xu Youyou was just short of money.
Who would have thought that this broken thing could be sold for 1 billion.
They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, the boss is the boss, one move can scare people to death, and they don't know if they can have the same opportunity to pick up a bargain if they keep following the boss.
"Boss, did you know this stone sculpture is valuable when you were in the United States?" Bodyguard Zhang Jun couldn't help but ask.
Xu Youyou glanced at him and said, "Are you concerned about me?"
Zhang Jun noticed Xu Youyou's unhappiness and apologized at lightning speed: "Boss, I shouldn't have been curious. I won't dare to do it again next time."
Xu Youyou knew that she was too ostentatious this time. She was an orphan without parents, and she was afraid that these two bodyguards would have some bad intentions after receiving so much money in one go.
Xu Youyou is not someone who will sit there and wait for death. She quickly thought of a solution. Two bodyguards were still too few, and she felt it necessary to expand her bodyguard team.
Finding a bodyguard through a security company is too slow and the method is too simple. Xu Youyou instinctively trusts the people's soldiers. She has no other military connections, so she immediately thinks of Shen Ju'an, whom she had met once on the plane.
"Can you introduce me to some of the great soldiers?"
Shen Ju'an had just finished his morning weight training and took out his mobile phone from the cabinet. He saw the message sent by Xu Youyou. He felt confused and replied with a "?".
Xu Youyou said: "I want someone who is strong and good at fighting. It would be best if he has made meritorious service and is now retired and is willing to be a bodyguard and is eager to find a job."
Shen Ju'an thought for a moment and said, "Don't you have two bodyguards?"
Xu Youyou replied: "Two bodyguards are not enough, we need at least six."
Shen Ju'an: "I remember you are also very good at fighting. Do you need so many people to protect you?"
Xu Youyou replied confidently: "Just because I can fight doesn't mean I want to. I don't like fighting with people. There are too many dangers in society now. I feel anxious when there are fewer people."
Shen Ju'an recalled Xu Youyou's agile skills and didn't know what to say when he heard these words.
"You really don't have any soldier friends? They're treated very well!" Xu Youyou asked.
Shen Ju'an asked, "How good is the treatment?"
"A monthly salary of 100,000 yuan, introduce two to me."
Xu Youyou did not plan to ask Shen Ju'an to find four bodyguards. She planned to go back and find two more people through other means. In this way, the six bodyguards around her, coming from three places, would form a three-way balance of power and be able to check and balance each other.
Shen Ju'an was shocked again: "You are too willing to do that!"
Xu Youyou immediately took the opportunity to pull someone in: "I have always been very generous to professionals. Are you regretting it now? If you are willing to join my company and become a star, and listen to me, you will make 100,000 yuan per second in the future!"
