Volume 1 Rebirth - The Eve of High School Chapter 36 Material Selection
Ai Zi Qing, based on ICQ, adapted the "Chinese language" instant messaging tool. With the efforts of the recruited university student team, it has basically taken shape and started buying servers for operation. Moreover, personnel are organized to go to various companies and schools for recommendation and use...
She selected a few excellent personnel from the earliest batch, Gao Feng, Yu Liang, Ren Ying, and Mo Yu as the high-level executives of the newly established Qingtian Network Company, responsible for technical planning and promotion. And appointed Ren Ying, who studied abroad and returned to China, with the most solid technology and outstanding abilities, as the company's CEO, also known as the general manager in charge of external affairs. Because the company did not have other shareholders, the board of directors only had a few high-level executives, and the power was concentrated in the hands of the chairman, so it also eliminated the need for the executive to be responsible to the board of directors, and directly reported to the chairman.
After that, Ai Zi Qing calmed down and focused on waiting for the arrival of the new semester two days later. The current Ai Zi Qing has initially established Yushixuan, Qingtian Network Company's main business is 'Chinese chat tool' and Qiantian Security Company.
These three companies, except for Yu Shih Hsien which has just started business and already has initial profits, the other two are still in a state of continuous investment. Especially for Qing Tian Network Company, "Chinese Talk" is still in the promotion stage, at least one or two years of free promotion are needed to have stable customers and launch a series of profitable services. Before that, it needs a lot of money to maintain, saying it's burning money is not an exaggeration! Fortunately, Tzu Ching started early and should be able to occupy the market first and avoid the language mistakes made by ICQ when promoting globally.
The transformation of the Black Tiger Gang in Yang City's underworld has caused a significant stir, and no one expected that the Black Tiger Gang in Xicheng District would actually transform into Qiantian Security Company and establish a community called "Qiantian". People with keen intuition all know that Qiantian Security Company is just a cover, so not many people pay attention to it. What's important is the reorganized community "Qiantian" of the Black Tiger Gang! It seems that this is what will be crucial to Yang City's underworld in the future.
But what does this "engine" really mean? Why did the Black Tiger Gang reorganize and name it Engine? What kind of posture will this Engine Society have in the future? These questions have always been unsolvable...
Idle Aizi Qing received a call from Old Sun on Pan Shan Road, Yang City, on the evening of the day before school started, saying that a new batch of jade stones had arrived tonight and asking if Aizi Qing wanted to come and pick some out.
Zi Qing was delighted, and agreed to arrive at 8 pm sharp. Since the car was borrowed by Zhou Yuan and others for temporary use, Ai Zi Qing called Zhou Yuan to send the car back. Considering that he had not been in contact with this circle before, she let him inform Hei Zi and Wang Wu to come together tonight. As for Ma Yu Xi, due to company business, she went to T City two days ago to attend a jewelry festival and has not returned yet.
Ai Zi Qing and Zhou Yuan rushed to Pan Shan Road in their cars, where several luxury cars were already parked outside Lao Sun's store. It seemed that the new goods had indeed just arrived. Zhou Yuan and the others also pulled down their hat brims and put on their sunglasses before following Ai Zi Qing into the store. Although they didn't have much to do with these jewelry bosses, they were still well-known figures in Yang City's underworld, and now that they had established the city's first security company, it was likely that they would be interacting with these upper-class individuals more often in the future. If they were seen publicly entering certain venues with Ai Zi Qing now, it wouldn't be beneficial for her current development direction. At least for now, she didn't want to expose herself so early.
"Boss Sun, I'm not late, am I?" Ai Zi Qing entered the store, walking towards Sun Fu while observing the people inside.
"How is this possible? Miss Ai arrived early, and today Old Sun has brought some good stuff. Many people have already received the news and came ahead of time. Miss Ziying should make a move first to gain an advantage! Haha!"
"Of course, I just don't know today's price?" Zi Qing said with a smile. Thinking to herself: This black-hearted Sun Baozi says it's good stuff, the price is probably not low!
"Ah, haha, I'm Old Sun, and my prices have always been fair, Miss Ai must know that... however... today, in order to let you all get this good material, I've really taken a loss! That batch of small stones is worth this much." Sun Baozi turned his back to the crowd and discreetly held up one finger to Zi Qing.
"Is it a thousand yuan? 'Boss Sun isn't being too black-hearted, is he? I remember it was only four or five hundred yuan before?' Zi Qing said with narrowed eyes in a soft voice."
"Not expensive, not expensive! These mink pelts are all well-known old pit breeds, with a very high chance of producing green ones. I, Old Sun, even want to keep some for myself. The remaining ones will cost 1,500 yuan per kilogram, and there are also some top-quality large pieces of mink pelt that are priced individually... Miss Ai, take a look..."
"Alas, it's really hard for Director Sun. You go attend to others, I'll take a look myself." Zi Qing nodded and said.
"Who are these?" Sun Dawei's eyes glanced at Zhou, Yuan and the others. "My friends." Zi Qing didn't want to say more, nodded and led Zhou, Yuan and the others towards the woolen goods section.
Zhou Yuan, Hei Zi and Wang Wu had already heard Ai Zi Qing's rough explanation of the meaning and rules of gambling stones on the road. They thought it was quite strange, but looking at the similar large stones, they started to get a headache. So they stood near Zi Qing and waited for her to choose the material.
At this time, four more people walked in at the door. The bright laughter of the first person sounded somewhat familiar to Zi Qing. She raised her head and saw that it was indeed Wang Ming Tang, accompanied by his assistant from last time, as well as two young men behind him, one of whom Zi Qing was not unfamiliar with.
"Uncle Wang, it's so late and you're still here to check on goods?" Ai Zi Qing smiled and greeted.
"Oh? Zi Qing is here too! If this old man didn't come early, all the good stuff would have been snatched up by you guys!" Wang Ming Tang exclaimed, his expression perfectly timed. He then pulled over a young man in his twenties standing beside him and introduced, "Let's get acquainted, this is my son Wang Bin, nephew Wang Ming, tonight he insisted on coming with me to experience the stone gambling, and this is Ai Zi Qing, the lucky star of stone gambling, haha!"
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Miss Ai." Wang bowed slightly and shook hands with Ai Ziqing.
"Does Master Wang still recognize me?" Zi Qing asked in surprise.
"My father often mentions that Miss Ai is quite knowledgeable about jade gambling at a young age, and is indeed a promising young talent!" Wang Bin said with a smile.
Zi Qing raised her eyes and glanced at Wang Ming Tang, it seemed that Wang Ming Tang had always been somewhat suspicious of her. She said calmly, "What are you talking about? I just got lucky, can't compare to Uncle Wang."
He nodded to Wang Ming, who was standing there somewhat awkwardly, and then turned his head to smile at Wang Mingtang, "Uncle Wang, hurry up and choose the materials! Today, Old Sun is being ruthless, if we're late, not only will it be expensive, but we won't even get good materials!"
"Miss Ai is teasing me again, my prices are fair and recognized!" Sun Baozi cried out in grievance. Seeing the conversation being diverted by Ai Zi Qing, Wang Ming Tang also didn't want to chat more, gave a glance at Wang Bin, and everyone started selecting materials separately.
Actually, Wang Ming Tang didn't have any other meaning, he was just curious, so he wanted to probe whether Yu Shi Xuan and Ai Zi Qing had a relationship or not. Seeing her repeatedly dodging the question, he also knew better than to say more.
