Chapter 1345: Lei Family’s Foreign Aid
Others couldn't tell, but Lin Ran could feel that he was a little panicked.
"Your white jade bracelet is really white enough." Hoxha explained that most of the guests present were not people in the antique circle. They just entered the industry for the sake of being fashionable, so they couldn't see the problem. .
"The color of pure natural mutton-fat jade is not pure white, but a white with a grease luster. It looks a bit turbid, so among the white, there will be a faint hint of light yellow. It is these yellows that can set off the color better. The crystal clear white jade.”
Comparing it with the white jade bracelet in front of me, it is white without any flaws.
Perhaps to the eyes of a layman, this is the real pure white. In fact, it is obviously a product that has undergone industrial processing and is not pure natural white jade, so the price will naturally be discounted.
Hoxha put the white jade bracelet back into the box, then handed it back to Boss Long with a smile.
"Boss Long, please don't mind, as long as it comes to your point, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my father."
After saying this, he made a gesture with his hands and palms to please leave.
Boss Long also looked ugly, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous.
He was in the jewelry business. In front of so many big bosses, he was criticized for being useless. In the future, his jewelry would not be circulated among the upper class.
Even if she refused his gift, she still questioned his strength in person, undoubtedly just to keep him from stepping down.
This move is really cruel.
"Does Young Master Huo know a lot about treasure appraisal?"
"Don't you know? Master Huo was sitting in the front row of the last charity auction that made a lot of noise in Yunhai City."
"Oh, you seem to have an impression when you say that. The products auctioned there all start at a minimum of [-]."
The guests talked about it.
It turns out that Dou Baohui is also widely spread among the people, at least among the circles of these big bosses, they already know about it.
And this circle will get bigger and bigger.It seems that the Ministry of Culture and Culture has done this intentionally, wanting to bring more people into the antiques industry, and it will be easier to implement some big moves when the time comes.
People on the stage were still offering congratulatory gifts, and Hoxha, like Mr. Huo's treasure appraiser, was appraising the treasures one by one.
If you can discern the Dharma, Mr. Huo will take it personally and express his gratitude.
And if he doesn't like it, he will criticize it through Hoxha's mouth, and finally return it to the gift giver.
This difference is nothing more than to divide partners later.
People who have been rejected a gift usually have a bad expression.
On the one hand, it feels like losing face, on the other hand, it also means that the channels for the Huo family to cooperate with them are gradually closing.
"Hey, this old man is so picky about receiving gifts." Guan Yun really couldn't stand it. If he went to other people's birthday parties and gave them gifts.If others don't accept it and show off to themselves, nine times out of ten they will just throw it away and leave.
But what he didn't know was that this was also the business rule of the upper-class business district.
Doing business requires a person with abundant financial resources. By cooperating with a large group like the Huo family, you can open up more channels and naturally make money. Who doesn't want to be close to this big tree?
Unfortunately, the choice lies with the Huo family.
Inviting you to the birthday banquet is already giving you a ticket. If you don't seize the opportunity, don't blame the Huo family for not giving face.
Being able to organize such a banquet, whether it is Master Huo or Hoxha's intention, is a talent.
At this time, Lin Ran heard people at the next table whispering.
What they were talking about turned out to be the Lei family's affairs.
"I'm really surprised that the Lei family will attend Mr. Huo's birthday party."
"Yes, their son has made such a big fuss. Is it shameful to come out and mess around?"
"How much is face worth? Only by cooperating with the Huo family can the Lei family have the potential to go further." One of the people who seemed to be particularly well-informed was as thin as a monkey. He didn't look like a businessman at all, but like a businessman. Information trafficker.
He held a cigarette in his hand, like a storyteller, pointing at the people around him and talking loudly.
"You don't know that the Lei family is actually gradually trying to break away from the control of the Huo family."
When he said this, the people at the table immediately felt nervous.
"Skinny Monkey, don't talk nonsense." One of the more steady-looking businessmen wanted to persuade him to shut up.
"I'm not talking nonsense." But he lowered his voice slightly and looked at the people around him.
Lin Ran immediately turned his eyes towards the stage, pretending not to hear their conversation.
Shouhou lowered his voice. He probably didn't expect anyone else in the room to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Recently, the Lei family is negotiating a new cooperation with the Weir Group. If this cooperation is reached, I am afraid that the overall size of their family will double. By then, it is hard to say who has a higher status, the Lei family or the Huo family. .”
"Will Group?" one person exclaimed, "A red wine merchant from Maple Leaf Country? What does the Lei family want to do, enter the liquor industry?"
"You know what the heck, red wine is a luxury product. No one in China drinks red wine now. Do you know how much a bottle of red wine costs?" Shouhou finally got the chance to show off his gossip.
In this era, people's information is relatively limited.
Even businessmen, except those who deal with foreign countries, do not understand the situation abroad.
Shouhou happens to be cooperating with the Huo family's trading group. He has been abroad several times with the Huo family and learned some relevant information.
The Weir Group's plan to enter the Nanling market was interrupted by the Huo family, so it wanted to use the Lei family as a springboard to get back into this field.
Today's China is still very cautious about foreign investment, especially in areas close to the mainland, which are relatively conservative and do not allow wholly foreign-owned enterprises.
They must find a partner and form a joint holding group before they can start production and business locally.
The Huo family does not want Weir Group to settle in Nanling City.
No one knows the reason.
Shouhoucai whispered: "Do you know why? Because Will Group is not just planning to sell red wine to China, they just want red wine as a stepping stone to open a factory here."
"What does it matter? Are their businesses in conflict?"
"Don't you understand this? Will Group actually has a hidden business."
"what?"
"Arms business."
Speaking of this, the voices at their table disappeared.
In China, it is impossible to allow this kind of business to exist. They have experienced too much pain from the war, and they do not want to let it go like some countries, which will cause serious consequences.
"Is he planning to come to China to open a factory and produce arms equipment privately? Will the country let him do this?"
