Shenhao started as a military training anchor

The Spring Festival atmosphere in Melbourne's Chinatown is very strong. Chinese people in foreign lands celebrate the New Year according to their own customs, which is respected by the local government.

At the same time, it also attracted many foreign friends to join in the fun, and they became very interested in the Chinese New Year.

It can also be regarded as a kind of cultural export.

Holly and Liang Caixi chased them all the way to the intersection of Chinatown. They did not continue the chase and stopped, preparing to go to Box Hill Chinatown for lunch.

"Mr. Huo."

A somewhat familiar voice came from behind.

Holly looked back.

It's Cathy, the Chinese wine lady who wants to buy his winery.

"Kathy, what a coincidence, we meet again. Happy New Year.", Holly wished.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Huo, no, our national hero.", Casey praised.

She also watched the video of Holly chasing Xiao Heizi last night.

I have great respect for this young rich man.

Holly smiled and invited: "Kathy, where are you going now? Let's have afternoon tea together?"

Casey said: "OK, I invite you, and I happen to have a friend from the Chamber of Commerce, to come together."

She is the vice president of the Melbourne Chinese Chamber of Commerce and has a wide network of contacts here. Holly likes the city of Melbourne very much and may come here often in the future. It will also be helpful for him to get to know some well-known local Chinese.

She must have come to watch the lion dance today and feel the Spring Festival atmosphere, so she happened to meet her.

Liang Caixi drove a Tesla and followed Casey's car to Box Hill.

We found a Cantonese tea restaurant for afternoon tea.

"Mr. Huo, have you ever thought about expanding your business territory to Australia? For example, investing in animal husbandry, buying a mine or something?", Casey said, "Many of the top richest people in the country have properties here.

Alibaba's Australian headquarters is in Melbourne, Li Ka-shing's winery is not far from Melbourne, and the chairman of the board of directors of World Trade Group is also a famous Chinese entrepreneur in Australia..."

By saying this, Casey must have known his true identity.

Although they are far away in Australia, Australian Chinese have close business relationships with domestic entrepreneurs. She only needs to inquire within the circle of domestic entrepreneurs to know Holly's identity.

Holly smiled and said: "I have no interest in animal husbandry, although Australia's animal husbandry industry is very developed.

The mining business has not been easy to do in recent years, and the domestic demand for Australian ores has dropped significantly. If I have this idea, I would prefer to buy mines in Russia. "

The market is like this.

After domestic tariff sanctions were imposed on Australia, not only the sales of various agricultural products dropped significantly, but Australia's ore exports to the country also dropped significantly.

Instead, more and more ores are imported from Russia.

Casey sighed: "Yes, the general environment is not very good, investment is risky, so be cautious.

However, with Mr. Huo's current worth, he can already live a carefree life. Congratulations on achieving financial freedom at such a young age.

When we reach middle age, we still have a sense of crisis. "

Holly smiled and said: "From a personal point of view, I can lie down.

However, my status as an entrepreneur cannot stop me. This society still needs us to be role models and do some meaningful things. "

"I have the highest respect for Mr. Huo." Casey flattered.

"Sorry, I'm late and kept you waiting." A middle-aged woman who was slightly older than Casey walked in and smiled.

Casey stood up and introduced: "Mr. Huo, this is Mr. Chen who is in the jewelry business and is also a member of the Melbourne Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

She is a domestic supplier of rough opal stones and has been in the opal jewelry business here for 16 years.

Teacher Chen, this is Mr. Holly Huo, a famous domestic investor, an upstart in the entertainment industry, and the founder of Qihang Media. "

Liang Caixi, who was standing aside, looked at Holly blankly.

In an instant, he understood why the celebrities in Hong Kong City were so polite to him. Even the chairman of the board of directors of Emperor wanted to give him face and take the initiative to give in at the auction house.

It turns out that he is the boss behind the current domestic entertainment giant Qihang Media.

Liang Caixi felt secretly happy again.

I'm so lucky to have such thick thighs.

"Hello, Mr. Huo, nice to meet you." Teacher Chen took the initiative to shake hands with Holly.

Holly smiled and said: "Teacher Chen, I just wanted to go to the production area in Wales to see rough opal stones. I didn't expect to meet you, a professional senior, here.

It can be regarded as a kind of fate.

Teacher Chen, please give me some advice. "

When you come to Australia, you must appreciate Australia’s national stone, the Opal gemstone, one of the six largest gemstones in the world.

Although opal is produced not only in Australia but also in Africa, the highest quality black opal is only found in Australia. The Lightning Mountain black opal mining area in Wales is the most famous.

Opal gemstones are also very popular among entertainers in the domestic entertainment industry.

At the Cannes Film Festival, Zhang Ziyi wore a ring designed with raw black opal stone, which became the focus of discussion and analysis in the domestic jewelry circle.

The price of black opal is very high.

The price of ordinary quality black opal is several thousand dollars per carat. If it is a top-quality natural black opal rough stone with a large enough carat, it can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars per carat.

Finally, with the design and carving by an art jewelry designer, it becomes a tens of millions of collectible jewelry.

Many Chinese people came to Australia to buy opal mines more than ten years ago, but this kind of stuff, like jade, is non-renewable. As mining becomes more and more frequent, the chance of finding top-quality gemstones is also declining.

Therefore, the price of black opal has increased more than ten times in ten years.However, white opal and crystal opal are still very common. They can be purchased in jewelry stores and ore raw material stores in major cities in Australia. The price is not expensive, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand.

Teacher Chen learned that Holly was interested in opal and took the initiative to invite him, "Mr. Huo, the Opal Festival in Lightning Ridge will be in two days. If you are interested, let's go and have a look.

There are a lot of rough stones mined there, and major jewelers around the world go to Lightning Ridge to purchase them. "

Holly is a giant in the domestic entertainment industry, and the jeweler has close ties with the entertainment industry.

It can be said that the entertainment industry is one of the largest jewelry trading markets.

Teacher Chen also owns an art jewelry store in Shanghai and cooperates with artists in the entertainment industry. Being able to receive Holly well will definitely be helpful to his future business in China.

If you want to survive in an industry for a long time, you must take a long-term view and don't pursue small profits in front of you.

She could definitely use her connections in Australia and her knowledge of opal gems to seize this opportunity to knock off Holly and make a small fortune.

But it's not necessary. Establishing a good relationship with Holly is equivalent to broadening her business channels in the domestic entertainment industry.

Making money is indispensable.

Holly said politely: "Then I'll thank you, Teacher Chen, for making a special trip."

"It's not hard work. I can also purchase it myself. In addition to the art jewelry business, I also export rough stones. Many domestic jewelers come to me to buy rough opal stones." Teacher Chen said.

Holly praised: "I admire you Chinese from the bottom of my heart for going abroad to work hard for your career."

"Mr. Huo is being humble. Young and promising outstanding young entrepreneurs like you are the ones we admire." Casey flattered, "We found the road bit by bit, but you went straight to the Sunshine Avenue. "

Teacher Chen laughed and said, "This metaphor is very appropriate."

Holly also smiled along with the two sisters.

Enjoy this afternoon tea happily.

After having afternoon tea, Holly and Liang Caixi said goodbye to the two Chinese female bosses, and made an appointment with Teacher Chen the day after tomorrow to go to Lightning Ridge in Wales to see the raw materials of opal gems.

If there were opal gemstone mines for sale there, Holly was also prepared to buy one.

He has the resources of top domestic and even international jewelry designers. Buying a gem mine by himself is a good choice, whether it is to design art jewelry for sale, collect it, or customize it for his artists.

On the way back, Liang Caixi muttered, "Entrepreneur circle, financial investment circle, entertainment circle, Internet celebrity circle, antique collection circle, jewelry circle...

bb’s circle is too big.

What is the next circle that bb is planning to conquer? "

Holly frowned slightly and thought, "Internet circle?"

"Will you create the next big Internet company?" Liang Caixi said.

Holly shook his head and said, "No, I only make investments."

"I know that you are the kind of boss behind the scenes who recruits a bunch of subordinates for yourself." Liang Caixi smiled.

Holly smiled and didn't answer.

……

On the afternoon of the second day of the second grade, Holly received news from Zhong Yiwen that she was taking a direct flight from Chengdu to Melbourne.

In the early morning of the third day of the third year of junior high school, Liang Caixi drove with Holly to pick her up.

He didn't have a driver's license here, so he could only trouble Liang Caixi.

Zhong Yiwen came out of the airport dragging a small suitcase.

Holly stepped forward and hugged him, "Thank you for your hard work, why don't you take a few more days off?"

"I'm feeling unwell at home. Being with you makes me feel more at ease." Zhong Yiwen said with a smile.

"Isn't Jinlu going to work? Why don't you come here on my private business jet?"

"There is a direct flight from Chengdu to Melbourne, so I will book the ticket directly. When you go back, I will contact Golden Deer to apply for the route." Zhong Yiwen said.

"Sister Wen, we meet again." Liang Caixi took the initiative to come up and say hello.

There is no doubt that Liang Caixi has become Holly's little lover now, and Zhong Yiwen greets her politely.

Holly got into the car with his luggage and asked, "Sister Wen, rest a little longer during the day tomorrow. We'll come back and have dinner together in the afternoon."

"Where are you going?"

"Go to Wales to see the ore." Holly said.

"I'll go with you." Zhong Yiwen said, "You need me as your omnipotent life assistant."

Holly smiled and nodded, "Okay."

If you really want to buy a mine, Zhong Yiwen will need to help run many procedures.

"I've already slept on the plane, just go back and lie down." Zhong Yiwen said.

Back at Liang Caixi's home, Liang Caixi received Zhong Yiwen warmly and prepared slippers and bath towels for her. "Sister Wen, take a nice hot bath and have a good rest."

"Thank you." Zhong Yiwen took the bath towel and went to the bathroom.

Liang Caixi jumped on Holly's back, "bb, I'm so sleepy, go to sleep."

Holly carried her into the bedroom.

The next morning, Holly received a call from Teacher Chen.

Teacher Chen said excitedly: "Mr. Huo, I heard from the gossip that a 50-carat natural black opal stone came out of Lightning Ridge this morning. We still have a chance to get it." (End of Chapter)
