Consumer God

Han Lie looked very surprised.

To be honest, he really wasn't pretending to be coercive on purpose, but he really didn't expect that Lu Yisi's offer was so "reasonable".

In fact, he is already ready to be opened up by the other lion and ask for an irrational price.

Top-level loose stones are non-renewable and rare resources for any jewelry brand. If one is used up and one is missing, no one can be sure when the next one will appear.

What if there is no new stock to be replenished?
A top customer wants to customize a piece of jewelry, but you tell them: We can't find a suitable gemstone now...do you want to lose face?
Moreover, selling bare stones is indeed not in line with the principle of maximizing profits, Han Lie can figure it out without Lu Yisi's reminder.

Therefore, Han Lie is already mentally prepared to be called up to 180 million yuan.

22.8 carats, 180 million yuan per carat, and a total price of 4104 million yuan. After bargaining, it was won with an auspicious figure of 3888 million yuan. The gimmick is enough.

Han Lie showed his sincerity to Pan Zian, and Cartier could brag about it, and everyone was happy.

The results of it?
What price did Lu Yisi quote?
"...So, after careful consideration, the senior management of our company decided to sell this romantic star to you at a price of 140 million yuan per carat!"

what?
How cheap is it? !
Han Lie was stunned for a moment, so he just blurted out the sentence.

I took off my trousers, and I was mentally prepared for the overlord to force me to bow, but you just followed? !
Lu Yisi not only complied, but also widened his eyes, with a dumbfounded and frightened expression.

Too much too much!

Lie Shen, hurry up and take away your supernatural powers, I can't handle the sixth child!
As for Ralph, Li Yi, Miss Fan, Assistant Liang and others, they couldn't speak a word, and they were so nervous that they couldn't breathe.

With such an outrageous price, do you want to make a deal directly? !

In fact, Han Lie really had a high opinion of the gemstone market.

In his previous life, he was a complete layman in this regard, not to mention seeing it with his own eyes, even when he was using Douyin, he rarely received pushes in this regard.

So he thought the gem market was too high and unattainable.

But the real situation is - it is true that top gemstones are very expensive, but its value retention rate is not that outrageous.

From the first year of the 20th century to Han Lie's rebirth in 2025, the growth rate of top diamonds and red sapphires is not even one-tenth of that of emeralds.

In yuan terms, they didn't even outperform inflation.

The former richest man in the mining province once bought a top emerald necklace for more than 1300 million Hong Kong dollars at an auction on Hong Kong Island, which was around 2000.

By 2025, a necklace with the main gemstone of the same specification will cost almost 4000 million yuan.

It has increased by 3 times, which seems a lot, but what is the inflation figure for so many years?
This is the embarrassment of top gemstones. Its price has an invisible upper limit, but the speed of currency depreciation does not.

As long as the old US continues to hold the hegemony of the world, it can continue to export inflation to every territory and every country on the earth.

Under such circumstances, gold can't beat inflation, let alone gems?

Moreover, the world's top rich people basically have a consensus - with the development of technology, gemstones that are rare now may not be rare in the future.

In fact, as early as the 60s, De Beers was able to produce synthetic diamonds.

Relatively speaking, the artificial synthesis of red sapphire is more difficult, but it can be overcome sooner or later-all elements can theoretically be artificially synthesized, the difference is only the cost.

When the cost of man-made products is low enough and the quality is high enough to confuse real ones, the market for natural gemstones will not collapse immediately, but it will certainly stagnate. Therefore, their prices must have an upper limit, and there must be an upper limit.

Judging from the current situation, except for those national treasure-level rough stones over 100 carats, the upper limit for gemstones between 20 and 30 carats is roughly around 120 million yuan.

And Lu Yisi bit the bullet and reported 140 million yuan, which is already outrageous.

However, Han Lie's reaction was even more outrageous.

Of course, with Han Lie's current IQ, he had already reacted immediately after he spoke—oh, it seems that Master Ben overestimated them...

Since it's so cheap, what are you considering?
"3192 yuan, right? If you round it up, I'll take it."

Han Lie spoke lightly, with his elbows resting on the table, his left index finger tapped lightly on the table, and his right index finger casually fiddled with the ruby, which set a record price, with an attitude as contemptuous as a child playing with marbles.

Lu Yisi was completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, when he looked at Han Lie, he felt that the young man in front of him seemed to be emitting holy light.

my lord!

Did you finally hear my prayers and send an angel to save your lost lamb? !

Louise's best-case scenario is to sell the romantic star for $125 million.

Don't think it's cheap. This is already a fraction of the highest price in history. The transaction price at previous auctions was only close to 120 million yuan.

And once the transaction is completed at a record-breaking price of 125 million, then promotion and salary increase are no problem at all!

Even colleagues from top jewelry brands sent heartfelt congratulations and regarded him as a hero.

Because this price will form a new benchmark and comprehensively improve the premium ability of the entire industry, and it will not only benefit Cartier itself.

Lu Yisi had already prepared for a long tug-of-war, but he never expected that Han Lie would be so wealthy...

So, do you want to agree to the other party's request to erase zero?
Or fight for it again, earning a little more?
Lu Yisi didn't even think about it, and immediately stretched out his hand: "3000 million yuan! It's yours!"

Don't hesitate, hesitating for a second is disrespect to the local tyrants.

With a unit price of 131.5 million US dollars, this is a beautiful thing that you can't even dream of!

What more bike do you want?

Hurry up to collect money, hurry up to report, hurry up to celebrate achievements is the right way!

Han Lie smiled lightly, and was about to reach out to shake Lu Yisi, but his arms tightened, and Miss Fan tightly hugged her.

Her voice was visibly trembling: "You just decided? Don't think about it anymore?!"

Logically speaking, she shouldn't have lost her composure like this.

On Cartier's territory, how much people hate you for disturbing other people's business?

With her emotional intelligence, it's not normal.

But she was in an abnormal state now, and she was too shocked to understand.

That's 3000 million yuan!

Even if you don’t make any big moves, just talk about the price briefly, and the 2800 million turnover will save the cost of more than 1000 million yuan for the solo exhibition?
How can anyone buy something like this?

Your money is blown by the wind? !

Her thoughts are the thoughts of normal people in the true sense.

And Han Lie is obviously not a normal person.

To put it mildly, the more expensive and sensational the first official gift to Pan Ge, the more sincere it can be.

This gem was not only for her, but also for Pan Zi and Annie.

To put it bluntly, Han Lie is in urgent need of consumption experience now, and it is difficult for a 79-point intelligence to handle a white sister, and he has never won when two sisters played at the same time.

Fighting Landlords not only requires intelligence, but also skills and the physical fitness and strength to support the skills.

Winning a gem for 3000 million yuan seems worthless, but in fact, it is a big win inside and out. With nearly 4 million experience points, you can point the four attributes to a full value of 89 points.

What issues need to be considered now?
Appearance, figure, physique, and specialness are all full together!
The most useful intelligence is not in a hurry, don't we have 2738 million yuan left?
Simply a wave of studs, all of which are replaced with lower-level gems. Even if they can't be sent out for a while, and they can't get double experience points, the experience points generated by the purchase behavior are enough.

Han Lie couldn't help being happy when he thought that his body could be improved by another order of magnitude in no time.

So he smiled brightly, and nodded to Miss Fan who was obviously a bit regretful: "Thank you for reminding me, I know the premium is a lot, but the girl I want to give is worthy of this price."

In an instant, Miss Fan was dumbfounded.

who am I?
Where am I?

Why should I eat such a big mouthful of salty, hot and sour dog food?
There is no love story more romantic than this sentence - it doesn't matter if it is expensive, she is worth it.

No woman can handle it.

When Ms. Fan went to see Han Lie again, she felt that this little man seemed to be wearing a ray of sunshine, with colorful auspicious clouds hovering under his feet.

If there is a man who is willing to treat me like this... so what? !
At this moment, her requirements and standards for men were suddenly raised a lot, and the few people in the circle who used to feel good had all turned into trash who were nothing.

……

The procedure of payment and delivery goes very fast.

When the 2500 million integers were debited from the Xiaomo account, Han Lie's system panel suddenly displayed an experience reminder.

One, ten, hundred, thousand...

A total of more than 300 million experiences!

Counting the original remaining, 19 points of attributes can already be added.

Turn around and give the ruby ​​to Pan Ge face to face, get extra experience, and you will be a handsome guy when you go home!

Of course, after adding 90 points to the appearance value, it is basically enough. Even if it is promoted to the next level, Han Lie will not give priority to increasing the appearance value.

Face is becoming less and less important to his status.

If it is not considered that you need to improve the external part as soon as possible when you are young, in fact, adding intelligence and health is the most cost-effective choice.

But the next level may be more difficult, and I have a little too much to think about now.

……

Ralph presented Han Lie with a special jewel box made of ebony, and then Han Lie threw the box into his bag and handed it to Liang Wu.

The little assistant was trembling with fright, hugging the bag tightly with both hands, looking left and right, no one seemed to have good intentions.

When she got up, her whole body was shaking.

Mom!
Boss, I can't do it!
Han Lie glanced at her, feeling a little funny.

Lu Yisi offered to send two bodyguards to escort them back to their residence later, but Han Lie politely declined.

In foreign countries, this situation is really necessary.

In China... To be honest, the highest level of robbers is either black skin or Hu Guangsheng...

My buddy has a full level of boxing, one punch and one Huang Bo, no problem, right?
When Han Lie was about to withdraw, Lu Yisi quit again.

At the moment of the transaction, the hotel manager Eric received the news, and then asked Yong Yi Ting's executive chef to prepare a feast in person.

A group of people took turns persuading Han Lie to check the time, and it was indeed time for lunch, so he ate at Mandarin Oriental.

For this expensive table and the food served in the hotel, Lu Yisi obtained three bottles of truly top-notch wine through his connections - Louis Roederer Gold Champagne 2002.

It's not that expensive, but it's so rare that only 25 bottles have been brewed in total.

Among the three bottles of Princess Louise covered in 24K gold, two bottles were obtained by Cartier from a famous French wine collector, and the last bottle was obtained by Louise himself from Hong Kong Island.

If the deal fails, Cartier has to send the wine back to others.

The initial transaction price of this wine was around RMB 4 to [-], but in order to get them, it is really hard to count the favors.

Instead of entertaining real distinguished guests, Lu Yisi would rather drink 20 bottles of Romanee-Conti than open it.

As a result, Lu Yisi waved his hand and opened a bottle on the spot, and Han Lie took the remaining two bottles away...

Well, the road is getting wider, Xiaolu!

There is nothing to talk about during the meal, the host and guest enjoy themselves.

Then, Miss Fan teased Han Lie vigorously for a while.

It turned out that there was nothing, Han Lie just used her as an embellishment for entertainment, and really didn't want anything to happen.

So Miss Fan lost her composure. She was fishing, but when she got caught, she started to struggle.

But as soon as she left the restaurant, she had to stop.

Going down further, with her reputation, the probability of being recognized is [-]%.

So Han Lie very simply rejected her request to follow Tiffany to see Tiffany again, put on his pants and left.

Heck, it's just a metaphor...

Ralph and Louise walked to the hotel gate all the way, with a look of reluctance but couldn't help but smile.

Cartier is making money today.

Even both of them felt a little bit ashamed towards Han Lie...

Lu Yisi took the initiative to promise: "From now on, you will be our Cartier's highest-level VIP. If you have any needs, just call me directly!"

His exact words were not "jewelry needs", but any aspect.

This generally means that he will not only use the company's resources, but also use all of his own contacts and channels to serve Han Lie.

This is a more important status than the so-called vvip.

Zhao Anni is actually the vvip of all major jewelry brands, and the total amount she spent on it must be more than Han Lie's now.

However, she is not focused enough to spend money, and she is too shrewd. She is a particularly good and important customer, but not a top customer worthy of help (Zhuzhuang leek).

The shrewdness of the circle of ladies in Shanghai is obvious to all people across the country.

Ten Zhao Annies made Cartier less money and fame than one Han Lie.

This is really... unreasonable.

Han Lie sat on S63 with his trembling little assistant, seeing her still tightly hugging the bag, he couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, calm down, it's just over one billion, and the company's account is close to one billion!"

Liang Wu was about to cry.

Can that be the same?

Is my three innocence plus my life enough to deserve this little stone? !
Unscrupulous boss, you can hold it by yourself, but you have to watch me laugh!
Han Lie teased the senior sister who was usually very shrewd and capable for a while, and couldn't help but feel good.

However, when the car stopped at Xiangjiang Plaza and Han Lie walked towards the Tiffany flagship store, his brows gradually frowned.

The situation is not right...

Why are there so many people around here? !
