Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 770 Strict Management

This is Hu Shen, the general manager of Yuming Pavilion.

He shook hands with both of them in turn and explained: "It was supposed to be delivered in the morning, but the recent volume of goods was too large. It was only finished at noon, and the workers hadn't had time to eat."

"It doesn't matter." Qian Xiaoyong nodded slightly.

Then, at his invitation, the two of them moved to the large warehouse in the innermost part of West City Plaza.

This place is obviously usually closed, because there is a large iron gate inside the square.

But it seems that because today is a special day, the door is also open.

They walked into the warehouse and saw everyone around them greeting Hu Shen.

Hu Shen nodded in greeting, then led them inside, explaining as he walked: "I'm sorry, there are so many people buying jade recently that we can't keep up with the manpower. We just ordered the goods this morning, and there are a lot of them." People are in a hurry to get the goods, the office is quite busy, and we apologize for the poor reception."

Qian Xiaoyong asked: "Has our goods arrived?"

"Of course, please follow me." The manager motioned for them to follow him.

This warehouse looks huge and looks more like a castle inside.

And there were many people coming in and out, making it very lively.

The workers were pushing the goods and loading them onto the trucks at the entrance of the warehouse. Lin Ran immediately understood that this was a large exchange.

As soon as Hu Shen left the office, a crowd of people gathered around him: "Manager Hu, where have you been? I'm still looking for your signature."

All jade transactions must be signed by him before the goods can be taken away.

With so many clients in the office, it seems like they are doing well in the capital market.

Lin Ran didn't know that there were so many jade merchants in the capital.

Moreover, the place where he got the goods was also very hidden. As expected, it was like a mountain across the street. In the past, Lin Ran didn't care about the jewelry market at all. He thought that like Chen Cheng, he got the goods directly from Ruili or Myanmar.

It seems that not everyone's business is that big. Many merchants get goods from second-hand dealers in the capital and then take them to various places for processing and selling.

Hu Shen checked every piece of information handed over and signed it after making sure there was no problem.

With the signed text in hand, the merchants did not stop, but went directly to the warehouse to pick up the goods. Everything was going on in an orderly manner.

Finally, he finished his work. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Hu Shen said to Qian Xiaoyong, "You two, would you like to go to the warehouse with me to inspect the goods?"

They walked through the office, but they didn't expect the environment inside to be complicated. They went around several times before reaching the vault.

At the door of the vault, there were several security guards holding electric batons.

When they saw that Hu Shen was bringing people over, they opened the iron gate.

This was the first time Lin Ran had seen a jade vault in this era. The anti-theft measures were not perfect, so the room was locked with a heavy iron door.

It's just that such a thick metal door looks like a scene from a science fiction movie, which he thinks is eye-opening.

Compared with the strict surveillance and bulletproof glass of later generations, this fresh-keeping warehouse has a more contemporary feel.

However, there are many people inside the vault.

They were all squatting in front of their respective counters, seemingly inspecting the goods.

Watching the people coming and going inside, Lin Ran thought to himself that he really didn't know much about the jewelry market in the capital.

While Hu Shen was looking for someone to get the keys to the warehouse, Lin Ran thought about communicating with Qian Xiaoyong about the market situation of jade in the capital.

"Besides Xicheng Jade Market, where else do you usually get goods?"

"There are several regular suppliers in the capital. This one is relatively civilian. Others can't get in without an invitation letter." Qian Xiaoyong thought, "But in addition to traders, you can also get good results at auctions and black markets. of jade.”

At the auction, Lin Ran knew that the jade that could be put up for auction was probably not something that ordinary jewelry stores could afford.

As for the black market, he was not originally an industry insider and did not understand the process.

But just by hearing the name, you know that the water inside is deep, and the probability of being cheated is definitely higher.

In contrast, it is better to go through formal channels like Yuming Pavilion. Even if you are cheated, you won't be cheated too badly.

Lin Ran found it very interesting to learn new knowledge across the world.

Through Qian Xiaoyong, Lin Ran learned that different cities have different requirements for jade.

For example, in Beijing, the best-selling jade is amber jade, because this kind of jade is only produced in southern cities, and current transportation is not smooth, so the capital is particularly short of this type of jade.

As the saying goes, rare things are valuable, and in order to market amber jade, businessmen also made up a legend.

For example, amber jade is actually ancestral jade. When worn on the body, the aura in it can ensure the owner's health and longevity.

But this kind of jade is only effective if it comes from Fu Province, and lake jade from other places is not valuable.

As for jade, jade has only average sales in the capital.

However, because the price is relatively affordable, it has also been favored by the rich wives of the upper class.

The reason why he entered the jewelry industry was because he met a friend who opened a jade shop in Hebei, and learned the basic knowledge about jade from him.

After in-depth understanding, he believed that there was a huge market in it, so he invested in this field.

So far, his main business is still jade.Moreover, under the propaganda of capital, there is a popular local saying: "It is better to hide jade than to collect gold."

This was the first time Lin Ran heard this sentence and almost laughed out loud.

At any time, gold is more valuable than jade. After all, it is the global hard currency. Jade is popular in Asia.

Especially in China, there is a saying that jade is used to nourish people.

After briefly listening to Qian Xiaoyong's understanding of the market, Lin Ran decided to find a channel to learn more about the jade market in the capital.

This is very necessary for his future operation of Antai Jewelry.

The staff finally brought the key to the warehouse. In order to distinguish the customers, each customer's stones were placed in different rooms.

After going through multiple authentications to ensure that the key is handed over to the customer, the certificate can be obtained.

No wonder they were so busy. It turned out to be because the process was cumbersome.

However, Lin Ran recognized their behavior. Rather than letting customers suffer losses, making them wait is the best way to reduce risks.

"Yongtai Jewelry, Qian Xiaoyong, fifty pieces of jade, do you want to inspect the goods?" A staff member asked him in a routine manner, holding the key and list.

"Yes." Qian Xiaoyong replied.

"Are they two people?" He glanced at Lin Ran again, confirming every step.

After receiving the final certification, he handed the key to Hu Shen, who then handed it to Qian Xiaoyong, and then he left the warehouse and went to work on the next thing.

Qian Xiaoyong smiled: "Manager Hu, your management here is really strict."

"No way, when it comes to money, safety always comes first." Hu Shen adjusted his glasses and took them to the door of the corresponding room.
