Golden Fishery

The design of a set of successful jewelry is no less difficult than the design of a successful software, which requires the designer to have a sudden burst of inspiration and strong control.

Therefore, the income of these top designers is often very high. Liv took over Qin Shiou's job on behalf of Tiffany. Regardless of the cost, the design fee alone cost 280,000 US dollars!

Seeing the initial contract, Qin Shiou heaved a sigh of relief and said, "No wonder some people say this is an entertainment for the rich. It seems like a luxury for ordinary people like us to be able to design a set of jewelry for a lifetime."

Liv covered her mouth and smiled: "No wonder Mr. Black said you like to joke, Mr. Qin, if you are an ordinary person with millions of black pearls and black gold centurion cards, don't we want to live in the slums go?"

Qin Shiou smiled. It seemed that Black Jr. had shared some of his financial information with Tiffany. This is normal. How can Tiffany's store manager and chief designer spare time for customers who are worthless?

"Can it be cheaper?" Qin Shiou joked.

Liv smiled and said, "Coincidentally, Mr. Qin, a gentleman asked the same question as you, and the answer we gave was: when President Lincoln came to buy jewelry, we didn't offer any discounts. Fair to the customer, so we can't give you a discount."

Billy smiled at Qin Shiou in a low voice and said, "Tiffany thinks highly of you. Do you know who the 'Mr. There' is in Liv's store? Dwight-David Eisenhower!"

Tiffany did give Qin Shiou enough courtesy. The chief designer was sent to receive him, and the higher courtesy is the presence of the boss. Generally, only presidents, famous politicians, superstars and super rich people will enjoy such preferential treatment.

Don't say Tiffany is pretending. They really have this style. As the top jewelry supplier in the United States, Tiffany can be called the exclusive jewelry supplier for the president of the United States.

Beginning in 1861, when President Lincoln spent $530 in Tiffany's store, he bought a set of pearl jewelry for his wife, Mary, so that she could wear it at the swearing-in ceremony of the president's re-election. Other U.S. presidents and foreign heads of state have since followed suit. At the inauguration hall of the last President Obama, the brooch his wife Michelle carried was from Tiffany.

Qin Shiou can enjoy this treatment. In fact, it was not only the effect of the black gold centurion card, he underestimated his status in the upper class circle of the United States, and the dinner party of the Strauss family had already made him a little famous in this circle.

After paying the deposit, Qin Shiou briefly visited the jewelry in Tiffany's flagship store accompanied by Liv. This is a routine treat designed to boost clients' confidence in them.

Turned around in this luxurious palace,

Qin Shiou almost went blind, gold and platinum are supporting roles here, and the protagonists are those diamonds, gems, emeralds and various rare metals.

Qin Shiou just glanced at it. It's really boring for men to visit this place. If it was a gun shop, he would spend more time. What's the point of a jewelry shop for old men?

After wandering around, he said goodbye. Might as well go and talk to Billy.

Originally, according to Qin Shiou's plan, he would not stay in New York. After sending the black pearl to Tiffany, I flew home directly.

But Billy enthusiastically persuaded him to stay in the Big Apple City to have fun. Qin Shiou thought that it would be boring to stay in the small town all the time, so he stayed.

But he didn't just have fun, first talked with Billy about the promotion of Van Gogh's paintings, and Billy said that the promotion was very successful. Now the entire European collection circle is crazy. The Van Gogh Collection Museum in the Netherlands has sent people to contact them several times to take back the paintings.

Qin Shiou said: "If the Dutch are interested, then talk to them. You don't have to go to the auction, and you can sell it if the price is right."

He didn't take money very seriously, and it would be a good talk if Van Gogh's paintings were returned to a museum specially built for him.

Billy smiled contemptuously, and said, "Let them dream, those guys actually talked about dedication and sacrifice to me, and wanted us to donate the paintings to the museum for free, do you think it's okay?"

"It doesn't work when you're dreaming!" Qin Shiou said firmly, your sister, talk to me about dedication and sacrifice at this time? Why didn't you talk about it when you organized the Eight-Nation Allied Forces to brush our copy of Kyoto?

After chatting about "Sunset at Montmaru", Qin Shiou took out his mobile phone again, showed Billy the string of red coral beads, and asked if it was worth it.

Although Billy was a diver, he was born there after all. In addition, he went to Columbia University, and his majors were archeology and art appreciation.

After only looking at these photos, Billy said: "This should be your Chinese cultural relic. The court beads worn by your first-rank and second-rank officials in the Qing Dynasty were made of red coral. However, this string should be worthless. There are no pearls on the beads. Any information that can prove the identity of its owner, so it can’t be sold for a high price.”

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "That's okay, at worst, I'll keep it for decoration."

He is not interested in cultural relics from the Qing Dynasty. As a young cynic, he is not interested in anything from the Qing Dynasty.

Hearing Qin Shiou's words, Billy smiled cheaply, and he leaned forward and said, "Although I said this thing is worthless, it doesn't mean it can't be sold at a high price. The actual value of an item is not the same as its price."

Qin Shiou asked with interest: "How can you drive up the price of this thing?"

Billy said: "It's very simple, hype! Isn't there no information on the Chaozhu, let's find a way to get it a little bit? Our family is very good at this thing, look at me, this time I have to let you see it my energy."

"To what extent?"

"Now this string of court beads can sell for at most 100,000 yuan, and I can make it sell for more than one million yuan!"

"So powerful? You are going against the sky."

"Go against the sky? Go against God's will? It's not very good, but in order for you to recognize me, let me do it once."

Qin Shiou patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Good boy, work hard, I am optimistic about you."

Having said that, Qin Shiou couldn't help laughing himself.

But Billy wasn't joking, he really needed to show Qin Shiou his uniqueness. Strictly speaking, his income had nothing to do with the painting "Sunset at Montmaru". But because of the cooperation agreement, he can still get the money, so if he wants to get the money with peace of mind, he has to make other partners realize the necessity of his existence.

His ability is not only reflected in business, but also in eating, drinking and having fun.

When you come to New York, the first thing you should enjoy is food. This international capital boasts more than 18,000 restaurants, and there is no other city that can match the variety of food flavors.

We all know that New York is nicknamed the 'Big Apple City', but less noticed is that the city is also known as the 'Gourmet City'.

At five o'clock in the evening, Billy took Qin Shiou to a tall tower-shaped building in Manhattan, and took the outdoor elevator directly to the top of the building, where dinner was enjoyed.

As a result, when taking the outdoor elevator, Qin Shiou made a funny comparison... (to be continued)
