Chapter 797 Confidence
The people of the Li family are the opposite of these people. They are not proud of their wealth, which is very rare.
There is also the character. Jack Lee has some abilities, but after getting along with Zhou Zhi for a long time, he discovered that this kid lacked the love and care of his parents since he was a child, and his character is a bit "strong on the outside but hard on the inside".
You may look extremely strong and confident, but in fact, you have an inferiority complex that is difficult for others to detect.
People with this kind of personality Zhou Zhi have been seen a lot in history books, and can even be analyzed in many emperors.
Even Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was so troubled by the murder of his brother and his father that he had to stand guard in the middle of the night to sleep soundly, let alone the rest.
Such a person often needs a support, not that such support is strong, but that he does not have to be afraid of exposing his flaws in front of this person, and this person can also reconcile his psychology. , to make up for the shortcomings in his mind, that's it.
After making up for this shortcoming, such a person will no longer be afraid of any challenge, and will become a tough and powerful person who will cause headaches to all opponents.
Now it seems that Cousin An An is just the person Jack Li needs.
After the two of them drank wine and talked slowly and deeply, Zhou Zhi learned a lot about cousin An An's deeds and why Jack Lee was fascinated by her.
A girl in her twenties, who had just graduated from the technical school of Dongfang Electrical Machinery Factory and had not even obtained a diploma from the Radio and Television University, entered the Canton Fair with a product that was not yet famous, and fought her way through the cunning old world. One day, when facing experienced businessmen from Hong Kong Island, they negotiated the patent agency terms bit by bit.
A year later, she came back again, this time bringing a large amount of funds, and then joined forces to defeat the potential threat of the foundry bosses, introduced modern production lines, and established the largest and most advanced manufacturing company in the country. Modern security door lock manufacturer.
Such an achievement is no less than Jack Lee's operation of following the European currency crisis, or even worse.
Of course there are many people who have contributed, but Jack Li's support for cousin An An is unmatched by Zhou Zhi and Xu Anran.
The two of them can be said to have formed a "great friendship" during the battle. From overseas patent agency, to authorizing the establishment of a currency fund, to providing Jin An with a Hong Kong capital background, to introducing production lines to invest in building factories, everyone has long since We have gone through countless ups and downs, and we have you among us, and we have developed a deep relationship without even realizing it.
After an analysis, the two are really a "good match".
Zhou Zhi has already thought about how to go back and persuade his family: his uncle, his third wife, and his cousin An An have now grown into big entrepreneurs with tens of millions of dollars in assets. It is really difficult to find a man who is a good match. Well, if it really doesn’t work, just stay far away and find a wealthy second-generation general manager of an investment bank in Hong Kong and forget about it... …
"Then will cousin An An come to see me this time?" Zhou Zhi was a little dissatisfied: "How can she not show up even when it comes to dividing the property?"
"She has given me full power. Agent. An Xin is still a little shy... Please give her some more time."
Cousin An Xin? ! shy? ! Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded. This was even more incredible than hearing Li Laosan say that cousin An An had a temperament!
After all, there were still many things to do, and he was too lazy to argue with her. Zhou Zhi asked again: "With the Americans and Japanese, are you looking for uncle?"
"Yes, An Zhai flew over directly." Jack Li said with a smile. : "Wanqiu is back too. There is a preview tonight. Let's go there first in the afternoon." Lin Wanqiu's former employer in Hong Kong was called Guardian. Later, Lin Wanqiu withdrew from Guardian and became an independent cultural relics and jewelry broker. However, the boss has been reluctant to let her go. He has always held the title of Guardian appraisal consultant, and even invites many heavyweight auctions. Lin Wanqiu came to host it, which really gave her a lot of face.
Speaking of which, Lin Wanqiu is truly temperamental, well versed in Chinese and Western knowledge, full of intellectual beauty, and at the same time able to create an atmosphere in a timely manner.
She speaks softly at the auctions she presides over, often as if chatting with the big guys in the audience. She likes to use words such as "Mr. Li, I think I can add a hand." "Director Zhang, This collection should be to your taste, why don’t you try it again?” This kind of seductive language has a good grasp on the psychology of the bidders.
However, the big bosses are very convinced of this and are usually very positive. Therefore, the prices of the auctions hosted by Lin Wanqiu are very high.
The focus of Guardian’s auction is “personal collections”. Judging from the current economic situation in Hong Kong Island, there are many private collectors who want to cash out. These people have basically completed the immigration procedures. However, I can't take anything with me.
However, there will be a problem, that is, the price of this auction may not be high, because the willingness of local players in Hong Kong Island to buy it is bound to not be too high.
Therefore, it is necessary to have several heavyweight auction items on the market to stir up the atmosphere, and at the same time, foreign players must be brought in to participate.
Therefore, the fragments of Zen Master Kukai's "Mahivi Sutra" collected by Sir Qi Yan, unsurprisingly became the important item in this auction.
There is also another important item, which is the Xuande Kui dragon-patterned large jar from Lin Wanqiu's studio. However, it is still to be determined whether this one is the real Xuande blue and white.
The division and dilution case specialist was recruited again. After signing a large number of documents, the procedure was considered to be completed.
Zhou Zhi’s main overseas assets are now in the U.S. stock market. As IBM comes out of the trough, various versions of Microsoft’s personal window systems continue to be released. The stock prices of the two stocks have risen a lot, and now the total value has exceeded Sixty million dollars.
However, Zhou Zhi basically holds a full position. He does not have much disposable cash on hand, and it is impossible to ship before the big cycle is over, so there is actually not much liquidity.
This dilutive split with Jin An, in addition to allowing him to continue to hold 8.2% of Jin An’s original shares, equivalent to US$4.3 million, also gained a With $12.85 million in disposable funds, he had the confidence to participate in the auction.
After having a simple working meal with Jack Lee at noon, Jack Lee and Zhou Zhi went to Lin Wanqiu's studio in Kowloon together.
It is said to be a studio, but it is actually a huge warehouse. Lin Wanqiu is an expert in setting up exhibitions. For this Guardian auction, the collections are all placed in the warehouse, with exposed metal pipes and reinforced concrete structures everywhere. , and the exquisite cultural relics displayed in the display cabinets, forming a strong visual conflict between the mechanical punk style and the timeless and implicit beauty of classics, which unexpectedly complement each other.
When setting up the exhibition, Lin Wanqiu liked big shirts and overalls, wore a soft-brimmed cloth hat and black-rimmed glasses, looking like an archaeologist.
Then Zhou Zhi discovered that Lin Wanqiu was followed by a follower, the second eldest son of the Li family, Li Lehai.
"Third brother, elbow, are you here?" Li Lehai also wore black-rimmed glasses and held a leather wallet and signature pen in his hand. Fortunately, he was doing registration work, and he seemed to be a temporary executioner. secretary.
