The design of a successful set of 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 was US$280,000!
Seeing the initial contract, Qin Shiou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No wonder some people say this is a recreational activity for the rich. It seems like a luxury for ordinary people like us to be able to design a set of jewelry in our lifetime."
Liv covered her mouth and smiled: "No wonder Mr. Black said you like to joke, Mr. Qin, if people like you who own black pearls and black gold Centurion cards worth millions are ordinary people, then wouldn't we have to live in the slums? go?"
Qin Shiou smiled. It seemed that Little Blake had told Tiffany some of his financial information. This is normal. How can Tiffany¡¯s store manager and chief designer not have any value for the customers who take time to spend time with them?
"Can it be cheaper?" Qin Shiou joked.
Liv smiled and said: "What a coincidence, Mr. Qin, a gentleman asked the same question as you, and the answer we gave at that time was: When President Lincoln came to buy jewelry, we did not offer any discount. In order to It¡¯s fair to the customer so we can¡¯t give you a discount.¡±
Billy smiled at Qin Shiou in a low voice and said: "Tiffany looks up to you very much. Do you know who the 'one gentleman' mentioned by Liv's store manager is? Dwight David Eisenhower!"
Tiffany did give Qin Shiou enough courtesy. The person sent to receive him was the chief designer. The higher courtesy was that the boss came forward. Generally, only presidents, famous politicians, superstars and super rich people would enjoy such preferential treatment.
Don¡¯t call Tiffany pretentious, they do have this talent. As the top jewelry supplier in the United States, Tiffany can be called the jewelry supplier for the president of the United States.
Starting in 1861, President Lincoln spent $530 in a Tiffany store to buy a set of pearl jewelry for his wife, Mary, so that she could wear it at the swearing-in ceremony for the president¡¯s re-election. Since then, other U.S. presidents and foreign heads of state have followed suit. The brooch carried by his wife Michelle at the inauguration hall of the last President of the United States came from Tiffany.
Qin Shiou was able to enjoy this treatment not only because of the black gold Centurion Card. He underestimated his status in the upper class circles of the United States. The Strauss family dinner had already made him somewhat famous in this circle.
After paying the deposit, Qin Shiou briefly visited the jewelry in the Tiffany flagship store accompanied by Liv. This was a routine entertainment designed to enhance customers' confidence in them.
After walking around this luxurious palace, Qin Shiou was almost blinded. Gold and platinum were supporting roles here, while diamonds, gems, jade and various rare metals were the protagonists.
Qin Shiou just took a brief look at it. It was really boring for a man to visit this place. If it was a gun store, he would play more. What does a jewelry store mean to a gentleman?
After wandering around for a while, he took his leave. He might as well go talk nonsense with Billy.
Originally, according to Qin Shiou's plan, he did not stop in New York, sent the black pearl to Tiffany, and took a flight home directly.
But Billy enthusiastically persuaded him to stay and have fun in the Big Apple. Qin Shiou thought it was boring to stay in a small town all the time, so he stayed.
But he wasn't just playing around. He first talked to Billy about the promotion of Van Gogh's paintings. Billy said that the promotion was very successful. Now the entire European collecting community is going crazy. The Van Gogh Collection Museum in the Netherlands has sent people to contact them several times. Want to take back the painting.
Qin Shiou said: "If the Dutch are interested, then talk to them. It doesn't necessarily have to go to auction. If the price is right, you can sell it."
He doesn¡¯t take money very seriously, and it would be a good thing if Van Gogh¡¯s paintings returned to a museum built specifically for him.
Billy smiled contemptuously and said, "Let them dream. Those guys actually talked to me about dedication and sacrifice, and wanted us to donate the paintings to the museum for free. Do you think this is possible?"
"Not even when you are dreaming!" Qin Shiou said categorically, your sister, are you talking to me about dedication and sacrifice at this time? Why didn't you talk about it when you formed the Eight-Nation Alliance Army to clear our Kyoto dungeon?
After talking about "Sunset at Montmajour", Qin Shiou took out his mobile phone again, showed the string of red coral beads to Billy, and asked if it was worth the money.
Although Billy is a diver, his background is there after all. In addition, he went to Columbia University and majored in archeology and art appreciation, so he has no ability.
Only watched thisAfter seeing the photo, Billy said: "This should be a cultural relic of your China. During the Qing Dynasty, the beads worn by your first- and second-rank officials were made of red coral. However, this string should not be valuable, and there is nothing special about the beads." Information proving the identity of its owner, so it cannot be sold for a high price.¡±
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "That's okay. In the worst case, I'll keep it as a decoration."
He is not interested in cultural relics of the Qing Dynasty. As an angry young man, he is not interested in anything related to the Qing Dynasty.
After hearing Qin Shiou¡¯s words, Billy laughed mischievously. He came up and said, ¡°Although I say this thing is worthless, it doesn¡¯t mean it can¡¯t be sold at a high price. The actual value of the item is not the same as its price.¡±
Qin Shiou asked with interest: "Is there any way you can raise the price of this thing?"
Billy said: "It's very simple, hype! Isn't there no information on the Chaozhu? Can't we just find a way to get some for it? Our family is very good at this thing. Look at me. I have to let you see it this time. My energy.¡±
"How far can it go?"
"Now this string of beads can be sold for up to 100,000 yuan. I can sell it for more than 1 million yuan!"
"So powerful? You are going to defy heaven."
"Go against heaven? Go against God's will? This is not good, but in order for you to recognize me, I will do it once."
Qin Shiou patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Good boy, work hard, I'm optimistic about you."
With that said, Qin Shiou couldn't help but laugh.
But Billy is not joking. He really needs to show Qin Shiou that he is extraordinary. Strictly speaking, the income of the painting "Sunset at Montmajour" has nothing to do with him. 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 have to enjoy is the food. This international capital is proud to have more than 18,000 restaurants, and no city can match the variety of gourmet flavors.
As we all know, New York is nicknamed the ¡®Big Apple City¡¯. What few people pay attention to is that this city is also known as the ¡®City of Food¡¯.
At five o'clock in the evening, Billy took Qin Shiou to a tower-shaped high-rise building in Manhattan. He took the outdoor elevator and rushed directly to the top of the building, where he had dinner.
As a result, Qin Shiou was so funny when taking the outdoor elevator (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
