Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 880 – Drop the News Bomb on Them
The day had turned to dusk and the journalists crouched outside the Paradise Manor looked listless as they glanced at the majestic gate. Traveling sellers were also seen pushing their three-wheeled vehicles, shouting the kind of food they were selling loudly, however, the journalists did not have much desire to take any food in spite of the rumbling hunger growling from their stomachs.
For media people like them, not having a spoon to publish is an endless torment.
“All friends from the media, I just received a notification to invite you all to East Expanse Square in Manor. We have also prepared dinner for you and there will be an important issue announced to everyone, ”Jin Shi walked out of the Manor gate before taking a look at the thousands of reporters outside.
“Important issue? Is this a spoon? ”
“God! Grand Fortune jewelry will reveal some news? ”
“They've also prepared a dinner party? Waw! But I never thought I could eat at Paradise Manor one day. If this is a big spoon, it's equivalent to a lot of food for me today! ”
“Come go, fast. We have to get a good place! ”
“…”
Thousands of reporters were thrilled as they cheered and rushed to the gates of Paradise Manor guarded by security guards who were keeping order.
In East Expanse Square, hundreds of round tables filled the square. Beautiful female staff with elegant demeanor were present respectively. Accompanied by the fragrant food and drink, the delicious taste of the dishes evoked the tastes of all the reporters there. However, none of them moved their chopsticks after they sat down and instead, just prepared and installed their cameras, he said, everything led to a half-meter-high platform that was temporarily built at the northern end.
Jin Shi walked to the platform. He didn't take the microphone, but his loud voice was emitted into the ears of every reporter, “Master and mistress, Our boss said that you should eat and drink first before you listen to the news, otherwise, our boss says, You all probably won't have the mind to touch them when the headlines are announced. Also, the Boss said that throwing something away is embarrassing, so please appreciate every piece of food and avoid wasting it. Thank you.”
With that said, Jin Shi stepped out of the platform.
All the journalists were shocked. This was the first time they faced a situation where they were invited to eat first before important news was announced. However, such an arrangement made them feel warm inside. It was clear that the owners of Grand Fortune Jewelry knew very well about their current situation, and clearly realized that the first thing they would do was write a news release and submit photographs, he said, try to be the first to report the news. .
“Yo, guys, let's eat faster. Enough and listen to the news afterwards! ”
A powerful reporter shouted loudly from his desk before picking up his chopsticks and devouring food like a wolf. Thousands of other reporters were encouraged by him and devoured food and sipped tea. None of them touched the wine on the table.
After half an hour, Hao Lei came with three staff carrying trays behind him as they walked to the platform. She was now wearing a flower skirt, and, with her loose long hair, her entire body looked extremely elegant and dignified. He took the microphone and looked at the crowd with a smile. “All friends from the media, I welcome you all to this place. I'm Hao Lei, General Manager of Grand Fortune Jewelry, and I have two things I want to announce right now. The first was that Grand Fortune Jewelry had received three distinguished guests who brought us three original jade carvings that we had actually announced to purchase. ”
“Three guests?”
All the reporters were very happy, and one from the closest table to Hao Lei shouted, “Nona Hao, can you reveal the identity of the honored guests to us and what kind of zodiac jade carvings they brought?”
“Revealing their identity is precisely the second problem today,” Hao Lei said with a smile. “And now, I want to show you all the zodiac jade carvings they sent first.”
With that said, he pointed to the three staff behind him. The three of them immediately took off the yellow silk cloth covering the tray. At the time, all the cameras were focused on three sets of red zodiac carvings and living like humans.
“This is three zodiac jade carvings: monkey, rooster, and rabbit,” Hao Lei said with a beaming smile. “Together with the dragon carvings and tiger jade we already have, we now have five pieces on set. It is my hope that all friends from the media would like to assist us in advertising this effort to help find the seven remaining zodiacal jade carvings.
The lights from the flash continuously shone on the area while the focus of everyone present floated around the three jade carvings.
Hao Lei continued, The second thing I want to announce is that the honored guests who brought us jade monkeys and roosters do not want to reveal their identities, so we can't tell everyone who they are. But we already paid 100 million US dollars to them. As for the honored guest who brought the jade rabbit, he was willing to accept everyone's interview. ”
“BIG! Where is that guy now? ”
“It is better to have one to interview than not to have one. But where is that guy? ”
“Who is it?”
“…”
Zhang Moyuan then climbed onto the stage from the back of the platform while being escorted by four security guards. He then stood in front of Hao Lei and hurriedly nodded and saluted hastily.
“I will give an introduction to everyone here,” Hao Lei said with a smile. “This man is Zhang Moyuan from Fukang Province. He is the owner of a Prosperous House of Construction Materials in Fukang Province. Furthermore, I would like to invite Boss Zhang to speak here. ”
Zhang Moyuan picked up the microphone as his deep eyes swept under the stage. After a few seconds of silence, a bitter smile appeared on his face as he began to speak, “Actually, I must be very rich with hundreds of millions of assets in the eyes of many, given that I am a business owner. That fact was true a few months ago when I was really very rich. I was someone who at least did not have to worry about having enough food and drink, and even lived in a luxurious mansion with a luxurious car, along with many rich friends.
“However, it is difficult to do business these days and even more difficult for business owners. My Company, the Prosperous House of Construction Materials, has shrunk dramatically due to some unexpected events that led to a deteriorating capital turnover. ”
“Only two hours ago, more than 690 million yuan was transferred to My account, whereas I already transferred 190 million to the public account of My company. You can say that the jade rabbit has saved my company and made my assets soar. ”
“But I have deep regrets. But there is also happiness and satisfaction. This satisfaction comes not only from earning money, but also from the fact that the jade rabbit is not the only zodiac carving in the world — there are also eleven others. I've brought a jade rabbit and I sincerely hope that Grand Fortune Jewelry can find all twelve zodiac jade carvings as soon as after
Zhang Moyuan's speech was neither slow nor too fast, but all the journalists under the podium were all ignited at this moment. Jade rabbits have just saved a company worth hundreds of millions of yuan according to the market. It made this rich man, who had many friends but no one wanted to help, to avoid the possibility of filing for bankruptcy …
Various key points and all kinds of highlights are emphasized in them.
All the journalists blushed with excitement. Even the green pulse on their foreheads was dancing.
As the day passes quickly until late at night.
At the Shanghai Train Station, Chen Jianshe dragged her tired body outside. He carried a bench in his hand and a worn black leather bag on his shoulder. His cousin, Chen Jiawei, walked beside him.
“Brother, we came to Shanghai, but where can we find buyers?” Chen Jiawei had dark facial features and a strong body, accompanied by a deep and rough voice.
Chen Jianshe looked hesitant as she replied, “The paper says the person is in Paradise Manor. But ... how do we know where this place is? How about we call the contact number on the paper to ask? ”
“Then do it!”
This was the first time for Chen Jiawei to visit such a bustling metropolis. It made him somewhat uneasy and he hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Chen Jianshe grabbed her old Nokia phone which she had been using for five more years and dialed the phone number in the newspaper. It wasn't long before his phone was picked up.
“Halo, Hao Lei speaks, may I know who you are?”
“Halo, hello. We're here to sell the jade cows. The newspaper said that you want to buy it; is this true? ” Chen Jianshe controlled her mood and said expectantly.
“Wood jade? Where are you now? ”Ask Hao Lei. “I'm Hao Lei, General Manager of Grand Fortune Jewelry, and I really want to buy jade carvings of the zodiac.”
“We ... we just arrived in Shanghai, kinda just got out of the train station now,” Chen Jianshe said. “But .. This is our first time here. We know no one is here and don't know the place, so we don't know where to go. ”
“Please tell me which train station you are at now. I'll send someone immediately ... No, I'll hurry to pick you up myself, “ Hao Lei said.
“Which train station? Isn't this Shanghai Train Station? “Ask Chen Jianshe in surprise.
Hao Lei was confused between laughter and tears before he replied, “There are several train stations in Shanghai, you ..”
Forty minutes passed and Hao Lei had arrived at the Shanghai Train Station along with Jin Shi and a few others. After summoning the other party, they finally found Chen Jianshe and Chen Jiawei who were sitting on a bench in the square, looking lethargic while smoking heavily.
“Two men, which one of you is Mr Chen Jianshe?”
Chen Jianshe rushed to her feet as she looked at the dignified and graceful Hao Lei with his noble aura. He also glanced at the tall and powerful Jin Shi and his group who were imposing an aura as he replied with a stutter, “. And you are ... Are you that ... Hao ... Hao Lei, General Manager? ”
Hao Lei reached out his hand and smilingly said, “That's right. I'm Hao Lei, General Manager of Grand Fortune Jewelry. I welcome you both to Shanghai. Mr. Chen, the car is in the parking lot. Please come with me with your friend. ”
“Ah, oh .. alright.”
Chen Jianshe slightly blushed as she shook hands with Hao Lei. He subconsciously rubbed his finger against his shirt after taking it back. Then he pulled Chen Jiawei as the two followed Hao Lei's group to the parking lot.
After they returned to Paradise Manor, Hao Lei took them to the VIP room and had the staff prepare food. Then he said with a smile, “Two men, you told me that you brought a jade ox, so please take it out because I have to judge that. If it is a real jade cow, we will buy it from you for 100 million US dollars. ”
100 million dollars!
Both Chen Jianshe and Chen Jiawei instantly became excited. After all, it was a huge amount of money. It was truly an astronomical figure to them.
Soon after, Chen Jianshe picked up the jade ox from the worn-out black leather bag and handed it to Hao Lei, “This is a jade cow. It was the heirloom of our Chen Family, and I had long since begged my father before he gave it to Me. Manager Hao, you must not deceive us! Son I'm still waiting for money to get married while daughter I need it to pay for her school fees. If ... If you don't want to give Me that much, you can give less than you should. ”
