"This is my phone number in Beijing. If you have time, you might as well call me. I can be your free tour guide!"
Tang Tian's face was blushing violently. The fierce eyes of Li Liqiang and Zhang Shu standing behind Li Yifan made her a little unnatural.
"Thank you, I'll contact you if you have time."
Without saying anything, Tang Tian nodded to Li Yifan's parents, then turned around and left, disappearing on the street outside the Beijing Railway Station in the early morning.
"Son, she is really that simple as your classmate?"
My father's malicious smile made Li Yifan feel a little embarrassed.
"You old man, can't you be serious?"
Zhang Shu reached out and twisted Li Liqiang, and then pulled Li Yifan seriously.
"Son, tell my mother honestly whether she is your girlfriend..."
"Oh hey! My mother|!"
The early morning episode and the excitement of returning to the capital made the old couple very excited. Seeing that their parents were full of emotions, Li Yifan's mood also improved a lot.
The capital is not as crowded and noisy as it was ten years later. The capital that just woke up from night is not so crowded, but you can already see people starting to work in groups of three or three on the road.
The traffic on the road is about to enter the peak hours, and the sky of the capital has begun to float a little fog that can often be seen in later generations. The exhaust gas sent by cars made him feel so familiar but confused in Li Yifan's nose. This is the capital, the capital that once left a very painful memory for himself, the capital that ten years ago!
After graduating from university, Li Yifan joined the Beijing dike clan with a third-rate university diploma and unlimited expectations for the future, and lived in the city with pain and happiness for three years until the subsequent incident and career change.
Thinking about those three years of green time, this city once gave him countless laughs, but it left him with more unspeakable gray memories, which were mostly related to failure.
And in this life, these gray memories are destined to be the haze that I want to sweep out of my memory!
"When I walk on every street here, my heart never seems to be calm. There is the roar of the engine and the sound of electrical power. I seem to hear his candle bone-like heartbeat. I am laughing here! I am crying here! I am alive here! I die here |! I pray here! I am confused here! I am searching here! I am lost here! Beijing @ Beijing! Beijing!"
The singing of the vicissitudes of the old man was heard in Li Yifan's mind again, and he is back again. How many cycles of life are there, but this time I am destined to be lost again and will not cry here.
Li Yifan swears secretly in his heart and clenchs his fists.
"Yi Fan, what are you doing? Come here quickly."
The parents in the distance had already found a taxi, and Li Yifan quickly helped his father carry the packed ambergris onto the trunk of the taxi.
The car was away from the once familiar station with a roar...
Li Yifan's family lives in a three-star hotel near Liangmaqiao. Originally, Li Yifan meant to find a high-end hotel. Anyway, after the ambergris was sold, the family would be rich and not that bad.
But they can't resist their parents who have been frugal all their lives. They can't bear to live in such a high-end hotel. Even the two old people think the price is a bit expensive in this three-star hotel now.
A standard triple room with bathroom costs 18 days. This price really makes them feel painful.
The next morning, Li Yifan and Li Yiqiang set off together and headed straight to the Great Wall Hotel near Yansha Mall. Today they made an appointment with them to negotiate here.
Luxury products like Chanel have only started to move into major shopping malls in Bincheng in recent years. Li Yifan also saw the contact number of this internationally renowned luxury brand’s China headquarters from the brochure where they got it.
When he called the Chinese headquarters at home that day, his hands were shaking a little, but after explaining the purpose of the other party, the enthusiasm in the other party's words quickly calmed down.
The meeting negotiation time was already agreed, and the location was also set at the Business Suite No. 8008 of Great Wall Hotel.
When the door of the suite opened, the noble and elegant woman's face exposed inside immediately made Li Yifan feel familiar as if he was a different world. He quickly started his brain and searched, and finally concluded that he had never seen this woman for two lifetimes, and he definitely didn't know her.
But why, her temperament makes me feel so intimate and familiar?
When Li Liqiang saw this woman's face, he was also in a daze. It was true that this woman felt very strange, familiar and intimate, but everyone really didn't know her.
"Hello, Chanel's general manager of China, Anna Lee."
The elegant and generous woman opposite, she stretched out her hand as generously as Li Liqiang.
She is relatively tall among women, about 1.7 meters tall, with an oval face and black hair. If she didn't have a angular face and her blue eyes, she would easily be misunderstood that she was a Chinese.
Seeing the astonished eyes of Li Liqiang and his son, the woman opposite smiled indifferently and said.
"My father is Chinese, so don't be surprised by my appearance and the Chinese language I speak."] "Is that so? No wonder!"
Li Liqiang forced himself to suppress his mind at this time. After all, such a scene and such a noble woman were not something he had experienced before, but his son Li Yifan quickly calmed down after his initial surprise. The elegant woman opposite was also full of appreciation when he looked at Li Yifan.
There is another yellow-haired and blue-eyed foreigner in the room, but his face is quite old.
"This is our product appraiser Pierre. Since you are here to sell ambergris, I think you shouldn't mind. Let's make an appraisal?"
Anna is very capable and doesn't delay her words at all.
"Of course, no problem."
"Okay, since you have arrived, then we'll get straight to the point, but should we meet your goods before the negotiations begin?"
Anna blinked her lush eyes and said to Li Liqiang and his son.
"no problem."
After saying that, Li Yifan took out the backpack that had just been carrying behind him, and then took out a big guy who was tightly wrapped in foam as expected.
This ambergris is the smallest piece of ambergris they brought with them, but it is about 20 kilograms. When he first came, he was held in his arms, which made him very tired.
Seeing Li Yifan's sweaty look, Anna got up and went to the small refrigerator in the room, took out a bottle of iced Coke and handed it to Li Yifan.
Li Yifan smiled at her, and Anna also felt a little strange. What's going on? How could these two fathers and sons who had just met make themselves feel like this? This feeling seems familiar but unspeakable.
I am almost certain that I have never met them before, but why do I feel so familiar?
The appraiser didn't know what they felt. He took the ambergris from Li Yifan's hand, then unpacked the packaging, and placed the yellow-brown ambergris in front of him.
He first asked, then took a little powder from it and put it in his mouth to chew it. This action made Li Yifan feel a little disgusted.
You should know that this ambergris is recognized as a whale vomit or excrement. This guy dares to put it in his mouth to taste it. He has a lot of courage.
Pierre is indeed an experienced appraiser. After the preliminary tasting, he nodded at Anna, then took out a magnifying glass, and began to observe carefully around the big guy.
As whales are culled around these days, the number of ambergris's existence and trading volume has been declining year by year. Now the global trading volume is only about 100 kilograms every year, so this thing is definitely pricey and is more expensive than gold!
As ambergris became popular, some frauds were also beginning to occur. In order to avoid losses from the municipal company, they must be cautious when they are determined.
Pierre looked around the ambergris for about half an hour, and finally put down a small piece and lit it with a lighter. After smelling the strange fragrance in the room, the rigorous old man finally showed joy on his face, and then nodded at Anna.
"Okay! Your goods have been confirmed by us. Let's get to the point. Two Mr. Li, I wonder what price you plan to buy the ambergris in your hands?"
Foreigners really like to be straightforward and straightforward. Li Yifan also likes such a refreshing style!
