Chapter 564: Jewelry of the Golden Age
Wu Wenrou didn’t quite understand all this, and she couldn’t drink coffee either. She felt that it was no different from taking Chinese medicine, so she simply walked to the door for a walk.
The main thing was that the two people were talking about serious matters, and she couldn't understand what they were saying, so she might as well familiarize herself with the surrounding environment and see if there were any suspicious people.
As a bodyguard, she is very professional.
Not true.
There was a guy named Ah Long squatting in the corner at the door, and he looked more professional than her.
Wu Wenrou: "..."
If I don't stand up, I feel like I'll lose my job.
In the cafe.
Xie Wenluan took a sip of coffee and looked at Zhu Suisui again, feeling a little uncomfortable.
After all, he had some feelings towards Zhu Suisui before.
Mainly because Xie Wenluan was very unlucky, but after meeting Zhu Suisui, his luck changed a little. He was a bit superstitious, so naturally he wanted to get close to Zhu Suisui.
However, thinking that Zhu Suisui could still bring him good luck and benefits even after getting married, his discomfort disappeared.
Who can go against money?
Think of this.
Xie Wenlun smiled and said, "Miss Zhu, you are really my lucky star. I originally planned to open a jewelry store, but I was always blocked. But you accidentally wanted to cooperate with me, which was exactly what I wanted. With your connections in the mainland, my travels during this period were much more efficient. By the time my father reacted, I had already obtained the management rights of my mother's family's jewelry store."
Zhu Suisui raised his eyebrows, "It seems that Young Master Xie has done a lot of things in the half month since I came here."
"There's no way. You should be aware of the situation in my family. My father wanted to pull me in to deal with Xie Wenbo's illegitimate son, but he didn't want me to have real power. He was afraid that I would kick him out, so he was on guard against me. This time when I said I wanted to run a jewelry business, he was the one who opposed it the most. Fortunately, my grandfather felt that the three parties' mutual restraint was the most stable relationship, so he helped me. However..." When Xie Wenlun said this, his eyes turned a little colder.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Suisui could probably guess it.
The situation of the Xie family is a bit complicated, but it is the same for most of the wealthy families in Hong Kong Island. After all, according to Hong Kong Island's marriage law, polygamy was previously allowed, so several families are fighting each other.
For those in power, this is a model of raising pigs: whoever has the ability will be promoted to the top and expand the group. After all, those who can be promoted are their own children, so any one will do.
Now Xie Wenlun wants to open a jewelry store. He uses the brand of his mother's family, but the money needs to be invested by the Xie family. Although Mr. Xie agrees, he will not let him do it so easily, for fear that he has other requirements.
Zhu Suisui did not interrupt, but listened to Xie Wenlun continue.
Xie Wenlun paused for a moment before saying calmly, "I don't know how Xie Wenbai got on board with the Shen family and even started a jewelry business. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for us in the Hong Kong market."
I heard the name of the Shen family again.
Zhu Suisui narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking back to the last time he met Xu Xiayan, she mentioned the Shen family, but he got there first and took over the domestic counter first, which was equivalent to blocking the Shen family's progress. Now the Shen family suddenly cooperated with Xie Wenbai, and he didn't know if Xu Xiayan was involved in it.
This Xu Xiayan really makes her unpredictable.
But now that it has come, we should just make the best of it.
Business must be done and competition is normal. As long as it is not malicious, Zhu Suisui can accept it calmly.
She said: "It looks like we have a tough battle ahead."
Xie Wenlun waved his hand, "I'll take you to a few stores. Although my grandfather's family used to do well in jewelry, they were never able to make it because of a lack of funding. The Shen family started out by relying on jewelry. I've always wanted to meet the Shen family. After all, my grandfather's family was once defeated. If they can revive under your leadership this time, I'll owe you a favor."
Having said that, it would be impossible for Zhu Suisui to feel no pressure.
However, pressure brings motivation. This is her first time in the jewelry industry, and she needs to look into it further before she can find out where the problem lies.
I wish Sui Sui will go there with joy.
The jewelry store that Xie Wenlun currently owns the management rights to is called Baxi Jewelry. It has three stores in Tsim Sha Tsui, four in Wan Chai, and three in Yau Tsim Mong, which adds up to almost ten stores. This is not a small number, but after Xie Wenlun obtained the financial statements, he discovered that the store was in the break-even stage every year, and some stores were even making losses.
When buying jewelry, people prefer to go to Shen’s Shengshi Jewelry, which is also the most high-end jewelry brand in Hong Kong Island.
Zhu Suisui and Xie Wenlun were on a "secret visit" and did not notify anyone in advance. They just randomly picked a restaurant. Before entering, Zhu Suisui asked Xie Wenlun to wear sunglasses and a mask.
Xie Wenlun: “…”
He was somewhat helpless, "How is it like being a thief?"
Zhu Suisui glanced at him and said, "I heard that you often make the headlines. I don't want to be photographed by paparazzi with you. And since it's agreed to be a random check, we definitely can't let people prepare. The clerk recognized your face at a glance, so what else can they find?"
There is some truth in what he said. Xie Wenlun touched his nose and became a little more narcissistic.
"I'm so handsome, it's easy for people to remember me."
Zhu Suisui rolled his eyes.
She has seen many good-looking faces and hopes that no one in her family is ugly.
The two of them walked on the busy street. Xie Wenluan hid her face very carefully, but Zhu Suisui did not have time to change her appearance. She did not expect to go to the store today, and her face caused her a lot of trouble.
For example, a scout on the street.
After the fifth sneaky man came up and invited Zhu Suisui to be the star, Xie Wenlun couldn't help it anymore. He made a gesture and A-Long rushed up.
A problem has been solved.
After taking a look at Zhu Suisui's face that brought disaster to the country and the people, Xie Wenluan couldn't help but said, "Why don't you put on some makeup? If not, you can wear a mask. Otherwise, I think you will have more troubles than this face of mine."
This is the truth.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Zhu Suisui also put on a mask.
It's finally clean.
No wonder there were so many beautiful stars in Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s. Romance scouts were so dedicated that there were probably dozens of people doing this job on the streets.
The two originally wanted to go directly to the nearby Baxi Jewelry, but after all the trouble, they happened to stop at the door of Shengshi Jewelry.
Zhu Suisui simply stopped and took a look at the store.
She nudged Xie Wenlun with her elbow and said, "Why don't we go to Shengshi first? But you stand out a little bit, so let Wenrou and I go in."
Even if Xie Wenlun wore a mask, there was still a risk of being recognized when she went to the Shen family's jewelry store. Once the news was published in the newspaper, no one knew what the gossip media would say about it.
This is to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Xie Wenluan thought about it and it made sense, but he was a little worried that Zhu Suisui would go in by himself.
After all, Zhu Suisui is from the mainland. In addition to gold and jade, jewelry stores also have diamonds. Diamonds are now the main product of jewelry stores in Hong Kong Island. They cooperate with South Africa and are deeply loved by ladies.
What if Zhu Sui doesn’t even recognize me?
Seeing Xie Wenlun was a little hesitant, Zhu Suisui just smiled and said, "Are you still worried about me? Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. I have to watch Shengshi first, and then watch Baxi, to get a clear feeling."
Hearing this.
Thinking about the past few days, Zhu Suisui really did not cause anyone any worry as she said, so Xie Wenlun didn't say anything else.
He pointed to the cafe across the street and indicated that he would keep an eye on it at all times.
Zhu Suisui hummed.
She took Wu Wenrou into Shengshi Jewelry Store.
Shengshi Jewelry Store is very large, occupying three floors. The storefront is elegant and high-end, and once you enter, the service is also refreshing.
The first floor sells gold, the second floor sells diamonds, and the third floor sells jadeite.
Zhu Suisui is not very interested in gold and diamonds for the time being. First, gold has not been sold in the country yet and is of no use to it at the moment. Second, the country is still planning its economy. Even if diamonds are introduced, no one is willing to spend a lot of money on them. The only thing is the jadeite on the third floor. Because of historical heritage and the fact that Empress Dowager Cixi highly praised and loved jadeite, it has also been shrouded in mystery in the hearts of the Chinese people.
She wanted to see the quality and styles of the jadeite at the so-called first-class Shengshi Jewelry Store in Hong Kong.
I was thinking that.
Then I heard some noise coming from behind.
