Chapter 486 Camille
"No, no," Camille Bonaparte said unhappily. She thought it was the wives of businessmen or officials who wanted to see her.
The servant knew that she had been looking for beautiful jewelry recently. After hearing her say that, out of understanding of her own wife, she still mentioned it: "The visitor said that he has a set of jewelry in excellent condition. He knew that you have been collecting jewelry recently, so he brought it here specially for you to see."
Camille paused as he was walking towards the study: "Okay, then, let him wait in the living room."
When Camille went downstairs, Xia Zhizhi and Aju were already sitting there drinking tea.
Seeing that they looked like yellow people, Camille Bonaparte was a little disappointed.
As far as her personal aesthetic is concerned, she doesn't really appreciate oriental-style jewelry.
So she thought that the yellow race couldn't produce anything good, but after all, they were called in, so she asked with little interest: "Where are your things? Put them up for me to see."
With a "click", Ah Ju opened the black suitcase on the table and lifted the lid. A set of dazzling and eye-catching jewelry was fixed on the black velvet surface inside the suitcase.
Camille Bonaparte took one look at it and could not take his eyes away.
Of course, it’s not like she hasn’t seen good things before, but this set of jewelry was very innovative in design. The main diamond inlaid was already large, and because of the design, it looked several sizes larger.
Camille Bonaparte's unhappiness was swept away, and he picked up the box in surprise: "It's good. How much do you want to sell it for?"
"No hurry, ma'am, take a look at this." Ah Ju handed her a photo of a crown, the same style as this set of jewellery, but the main diamond of the crown was bigger: "Because it is not easy to carry, and I am not sure if you will like it, so I did not bring this crown."
Camille Bonaparte took the photo and looked at it carefully.
The photo is in black and white and cannot fully show the charm of the jewelry, but in this photo, the entire set of jewelry is placed together, and with the jewelry next to it for comparison, Camille Bonaparte can imagine the beauty of the crown.
Her eyes widened slightly. The jewels on both sides of the crown were arranged like feathers, just like the wings of the chrysanthemum god. Of course, it was only a resemblance, and it was still far from the real thing.
Camille Bonaparte was extremely satisfied, and his voice became more appropriate: "You name a price."
I'm not exaggerating, because of its design, this set of jewelry can even be compared to the crown worn by the Queen when she ascended the throne, so the price is actually difficult to ask for.
"Please make an offer. After all, jewelry can only shine to its fullest when it is in front of someone who appreciates it." Xia Zhizhi did not make an offer.
Camille Bonaparte also knew this and began to ponder.
Xia Zhizhi added, "Actually, the reason I came to your house this time, besides hearing about your recent troubles and wanting to see if I could help you, I also have some other requests."
Camille Bonaparte frowned and looked at her: "Come and see."
Xia Zhizhi smiled and said, "My family runs an industry related to the assembly of electronic components. I would like to ask you to help me negotiate and introduce me to some business partners engaged in this industry."
Camille Bonaparte relaxed his frown, and without giving her a positive answer immediately, he just said, "Have a cup of tea first. I have something to do and need to leave for a while."
Camille Bonaparte went upstairs and had an argument with her husband in the study, and then she came up with an idea.
The handicraft industry in Hong Kong is very developed now. For industries like clothing factories and printing and dyeing factories, unless you set up a special brand and go the luxury route, the profit will not be that big. It's just hard-earned money. Xia Zhizhi doesn't want to get involved for the time being. She thinks those industries don't make as much money as the electronics industry.
After all, she doesn't have any technical problems that are difficult to overcome.
Camille Bonaparte came down again and his attitude became somewhat better.
She is rich, but as a normal person, it is impossible for her to keep a large amount of cash on hand. If Ah Ju really quotes a price directly, she would be in a bit of a dilemma.
On the premise that they had something to ask for, Camille Bonaparte offered a fairly reasonable price, and in Camille's opinion, she got a bargain.
Xia Zhizhi agreed readily. Considering that it would take some time for her to prepare the cash, they agreed to make the transaction the day after tomorrow. At that time, Xia Zhizhi would bring the crown along, and after Mrs. Camille checked it and found it to be correct, they could exchange the money for the goods.
Mrs. Camille was very satisfied.
The price Camille quoted would last Xia Zhizhi a long time, enough for her to gather the necessary team.
And with the Governor's wife as a middleman, she no longer had to run around and spend a lot of effort to make friends with foreigners to get orders. She could easily open this electronics factory.
Once we have orders, it is easy to find employees.
Besides, Camille will return the jewelry to her after she has given it a try.
Xia Zhizhi was also very satisfied.
Not only did she get a large sum of money for free, but people also introduced her to business.
One thing benefits you twice.
Win-win situation.
As for your question about whether Xia Zhizhi would feel guilty for doing this?
After leaving the Governor's Mansion, Xia Zhizhi was full of pride, with her hands on her waist, and said shamelessly: "No one in the world will do business at a loss. Even if some transactions seem unequal on the surface, as long as the other party is not stupid, they must have obtained what they want in a place that others don't know.
They are willing to give to me because I provide them with the same emotional value in their eyes, which proves that I am an extremely precious and excellent person. This is the reward I deserve!"
Zhu Qingle and the taxi driver had been waiting outside the Governor's Palace, and they had no idea what the two men had done inside.
Zhu Qingle was trained by Aju and passed the test. After hearing what Xia Zhizhi said, he and Aju flattered Xia Zhizhi together.
"You are right!"
"You are the best person in the world!"
The taxi driver took the group of young men and women back to the hotel with an expressionless face.
When she returned to the hotel, the front desk told her that she had received two calls today, but she did not answer them.
Xia Zhizhi returned to the room and gave the two of them a reply.
One was from a real estate agent who called her. After she picked up the phone, the agent told her, "The owner is not available in the next few days. You can make an appointment anytime if you have time."
Thinking that she would not get the money until the day after tomorrow, Xia Zhizhi said, "Then let's make an appointment for the day after tomorrow at noon."
After finalizing the time and location, Xia Zhizhi called back another number.
This was Chen Xuexing calling, saying that the design drawings had been made, but the cost had not been calculated yet. Xia Zhizhi asked about the approximate time and arranged a meeting tomorrow afternoon.
