Chapter 1083: The Opening of the Jewelry Exhibition

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The development of the West Star Mountain Resort was proposed on the agenda. The resort was jointly funded by three parties, namely Yang Ming’s Song Jiang Ming Yang Industrial Co., Ltd. (formerly Dekang Real Estate), Sun Jie’s Hongjun Real Estate Song Jiang Branch, and also President Hua’s Donghai Xinhua Mingyue Real Estate.

The company of Zhou Jiajia’s mother, Hua Fang, had been working on the construction of resorts, hotels, and other facilities. It was a relatively senior developer. However, even if it wasn’t senior, it was okay. Yang Ming mainly wanted to ease the relationship with Mother Zhou.

As for the distribution of shares, Yang Ming didn’t care. They were a family anyway. Whoever earned more or less was just the same. However, the final decision was that Yang Ming’s Ming Yang Industry held forty percent of the shares, and Sun Jie and Hua Fang each accounted for thirty percent.

The land belonged to Yang Ming. Hou Zhenhan could smooth out the process with his connections in Song Jiang, so building the biggest resort in the province wasn’t a problem. It turned out that the largest resort in Song Jiang province was the Immortal Resort which was also in the bordering county not far from West Star Mountain.

However, Yang Ming’s land was five times bigger than the Immortal Resort and included the West Star Mountain’s development rights. If the resort was built, the Immortal Resort had no way to survive.

What Yang Ming had to do was to destroy them. Whether it was the Wei Family or the Sui Family, Yang Ming did not have good impressions of them, so he naturally wouldn’t be polite.

With Yang Ming’s command, Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli naturally began to work enthusiastically. They frequently started to contact Sun Jie and Hua Fang; Yang Ming was a hands-off boss then.

Because the jewelry exhibition was about to open soon, Yang Ming had to go all out to deal with it. Any mistake would doom him eternally. Although Yang Ming could afford the loss, he didn’t want to pay for it.

Yang Ming wanted to have the person fail in his attempt to steal and suffer a loss.

Li Qiang had received Yang Ming’s order. He brought all the elites to the main positions of the exhibition. It could be said that the security work of this exhibition was mainly based on the Black Butterfly Assassin Group, supplemented by the Ming Yang Security Company.

Only the insiders knew about this. It was announced that everyone belonged to the Ming Yang Security Company.

The security work of this jewelry exhibition was an arduous task and an unprecedented challenge, whether it was for the Ming Yang Security Company, Li Qiang and his men, or even Yang Ming himself.

Yang Ming apprised Li Qiang of his initial analysis. It took knowing your enemy and yourself to succeed. Therefore, Yang Ming didn’t conceal. He even told Sun Jie’s guess to Li Qiang.

Li Qiang listened to Yang Ming’s words and was very attentive. He didn’t dare to be neglectful.

The international jewelry exhibition organized by the China Jewelry Association officially kicked off. This was an encompassing event which was divided into simple exhibition areas, sales areas, and auction areas according to the level of jewelry displayed.

As the name describes, the exhibition area was just for exhibit and not for sale. These pieces of jewelry were invaluable and famous with a lot of history. The owners of the exhibitions were often big collectors. They didn’t care about money, so they wouldn’t sell their treasures no matter how much money was offered.

In the sales exhibition area, although there were many pieces of valuable jewelry, they were all processed in recent years. No matter how beautiful they were, they were still tradable at any time.

The auction area had some hand-made limited edition jewelry. The styles were often unique. If someone wanted to get it, he could only get it through bidding.

Liu Weishan Jewelry Company had a large part of the jewelry being auctioned. Because the styles were out of production, the price wasn’t low.

The entire exhibition lasted for a week. On the last day of the fair, a large banquet would be held. Some celebrities would participate. Liu Weishan Jewelry also sent an invitation to its spokesperson Shu Ya, but it depended on whether she could come or not.

Eligible banquet participants, aside from exhibitors, were mysterious collectors and customers who eventually won the jewelry bids. Therefore, if Shu Ya arrived, it would be a promotion for the Liu Weishan jewelry brand.

The China Jewelry Association was just a civil association after all; it was a joint organization from the jewelry industry. Therefore, when the jewelry exhibition was held, it could only be secured by a private security company; the police cannot be involved. After all, this wasn’t an official event.

During the day, Yang Ming’s observers and people were almost at every position in the exhibition hall, so the chances of having an accident wouldn’t be high. Yang Ming predicted that the highest possibility of an accident was the morning before and after the exhibition opening and the night before and after the exhibition ending.

However, even then, Yang Ming didn’t dare to take it lightly. After all, Yang Ming’s guess was only based on common sense, and things were ever-changing. No one would know if someone would go against common sense and do it at the most lively time.

To not cause unnecessary trouble, the identity information of all the exhibitors, including the staff, were collected and verified. This was the police’s task, but Yang Ming’s identity was out of the ordinary, so it was also convenient to get these things done. After the people’s identities were verified, they were allowed to enter the hall.

The customers of the exhibition were being checked strictly too. In addition to verifying the electronic information on the ID card, they also validated the authenticity of the tickets and had a strict security check at the time of entry.

This jewelry exhibition could be described as the strictest among the previous exhibitions. Although some media said that the Ming Yang Security Company was making a big fuss, Yang Ming didn’t feel anything wrong with this.

The public opinion was also two-sided. Some people objected while some agreed. Along with the media, people in the Song Jiang forums were very much in favor of the practice of the Ming Yang Security Company!

They weren’t considerate of others’ safety. Instead, it was for their own safety! Before, many people who wanted to buy jewelry at the jewelry exhibition were afraid that it would be dangerous at the exhibition.

With strict security inspection measures, those thieves couldn’t mix in. The citizens could safely purchase their favorite jewelry.

The jewelry exhibitors in the venue greatly approved Ming Yang Security Company’s approach! After all, if the public was worried about their own safety, the exhibitors were even more concerned!

At the annual exhibition, some guys wanted to fish in troubled waters. They wanted to steal some exhibited jewelry. Because it was hard to manage when there were so many people, the items could be lost easily.

Therefore, the pressure on manufacturers was also enormous, but this time, the Ming Yang Security Company had adopted strict security inspection measures, so their pressure was much less.

Li Qiang and Hou Zhenhan were respectively the chief and deputy chief of the security team of the jewelry exhibition, while Yang Ming was responsible for the overall work which meant he would make a move if there were a situation.

At this moment, Yang Ming was wearing a black trench coat moving in the crowd like an ordinary customer, but Yang Ming didn’t dare to be neglectful. He observed everyone’s expressions and movements in the dark.

This was a very tiring job, but Yang Ming could only persist in doing it. It was only seven days and would be over soon. Yang Ming had endured more suffering than this when training in Europe, so this was nothing.

The exhibition area and the sales exhibition area were the two areas with the most guests. The sales exhibition area didn’t matter. Although there were many manufacturers and many customers, the jewelry sold there wasn’t too expensive. The total value of the jewelry in the sales exhibition area was less than a single piece of jewelry in the exhibition area.

Even if a thief was eyeing the sales exhibition area, he certainly wasn’t a very powerful person. Li Qiang’s men were enough to deal with it. What made Yang Ming the most troubled was the exhibition area.

Although the jewelry in the exhibition area was in glass showcases; they were cordoned off. Several of Yang Ming’s people stood on the edge of each showcase.

He made one round through the exhibition area, and he came to the showcase area of ​​Liu Weishan Jewelry. Zhao Sisi and Zhang Bing were responsible for the sales exhibition area. Zhang Bing was naturally brought to work by Zhao Sisi.

Unsure of what happened with Zhao Sisi and Wang Mei, now it seemed that Zhao Sisi’s relationship with Zhang Bing was at least very stable. There was nothing unusual. Zhang Bing was also busy with commanding the company’s staff.

“Bro, you are here!” Zhang Bing looked up at Yang Ming. He smiled, put down the work in his hands, and ran over.

“You are so busy,” Yang Ming said with a sigh. Looking at the passionate men and women who bought the jewels in front of Shu Ya’s big poster, he had to admire Shu Ya’s charm. This wife was really worth bringing home!

In the future, even the money for the spokesperson is saved. Oh, I am really a genius... Yang Ming thought meanly…

“Yeah, I didn’t expect so many people to come. I added a lot of temporary exhibiting styles. Many styles have been sold out.” Zhang Bing nodded and said, “Bro, we are getting rich this time. I have counted it. If today’s sales momentum is maintained every day, then the money I earn in these few days is more than the amount my father makes in a year!”

“It’s impossible to maintain this every day. Usually, more people come on the first day.” Yang Ming smiled. “But it’s not bad to have such a result.”

“Yeah, you know that our company was founded less than half a year ago!” Zhang Bing said, “I even admire myself!”

“What did you do?” When Yang Ming saw Zhang Bing being so shameless, he couldn’t help but say, “Zhao Sisi has been busy with the company. How many times have you visited the company?”

” Hehe …” Zhang Bing smiled and scratched his head.

“Right, how is your relationship with Zhao Sisi? How did you handle Wang Mei’s matter?” Yang Ming glanced at Zhao Sisi, who was over there, then he lowered his voice and asked.

“We’ve reconciled,” said Zhang Bing. “But Sisi and Wang Mei have talked about it. Sisi told her that she doesn’t have to think of getting married, but will let her be my mistress.”

“I didn’t expect Zhao Sisi to be so open!” Yang Ming was a bit surprised. He thought it would be a big fight.

“Probably because there was an example like you!” Zhang Bing sneered. “Bro, if there weren’t an example like you, maybe Sisi wouldn’t be so forthright, but with you as an example, Sisi thought it through easily.”

Yang Ming glanced at Zhang Bing and said, “Okay, let’s go quickly. I still have something to do. Right, where is Zhiyun?”

“Zhiyun and Mengyan are responsible for the auction area,” said Zhang Bing.

“Mengyan is here too?” Yang Ming was a little surprised.

” En , Zhiyun is afraid of being too busy, so she came with Mengyan.” Zhang Bing said, “Why don’t you go and take a look?”

“I’ll go later. I will go to the exhibition area first,” said Yang Ming.

Zhang Bing also vaguely knew that Yang Ming was responsible for the entire security work of the venue, so he didn’t keep Yang Ming here. He nodded and went to get busy with his own business.

Yang Ming left the booth of the Liu Weishan Jewelry Company and walked to the exhibition area. More people in the exhibition area than in the auction area, but not as many as in the sales exhibition area.

After all, the jewelry displayed here was ridiculously expensive. Many people just wanted to look at new stuff, then leave after a glance. They couldn’t afford it even if they looked at it longer, so it was better not to look at it.

This was the most problematic area, so Li Qiang was always in this exhibition hall. When he saw Yang Ming coming in, he nodded to Yang Ming and then started to stare at the passing crowd.

When Yang Ming just entered the exhibition hall, Li Qiang was able to find Yang Ming first thing, which made Yang Ming very surprised. In other words, Li Qiang was always paying attention to the newcomers who came to the exhibition hall. Everyone was under his watch!

Thinking of this, Yang Ming nodded in appreciation, and then, he began to carefully observe the movements in the exhibition hall with Li Qiang. Most of the customers in the exhibition hall were just curious about new things. Most people left after looking around. There were a few people taking photos as souvenirs, but the average time for staying was no more than fifteen minutes.

At this time, Yang Ming’s eyes locked on a man wearing a grey woolen shirt. The man was already there before Yang Ming came in. It had been an hour since then, and he was still in the exhibition hall.

Yang Ming walked to Li Qiang’s side. Apparently, Li Qiang had already noticed the man wearing the gray woolen shirt. “He has been here for two hours.”

Yang Ming nodded. Although he had some doubts about the man’s motives, he was still a guest. Yang Ming couldn’t take any action until he committed some excessive acts.

He could only silently raise his vigilance and pay attention to this man’s movements.

The man strolled around the exhibition hall many times, but eventually stopped in front of a piece of jewelry. The man stayed at this jewelry showcase for the longest time.

The security guard in front of the showcase also had a deep impression of the man. When the man came, he maintained a high degree of vigilance.

It was a diamond necklace worn by a princess of a European royal family from the fifteenth century. The value of the necklace was about two billion US dollars which made it a peerless and unique treasure.

However, apart from looking at the diamond necklace constantly, the man did not make any other special moves. His conduct was proper at all times.

Moreover, the man took great pains to admire the necklace over and over again.

Yang Ming sighed and shook his head helplessly. One cannot deal with such a person. Although he had doubts, he didn’t have any evidence.

Yang Ming couldn’t stand here and watch the man all day. This arduous task could only be handed over to Li Qiang. Yang Ming instructed Li Qiang to contact him at any time if there were any situation.

Yang Ming walked out of the exhibition hall to the auction area. In any case, Yang Ming was responsible for overall coordination work. Although the possibility of having problems in the auction area was relatively little, Yang Ming still had to check it.

The auction was in progress. An agate bracelet was being auctioned. The workmanship was exquisite, and many people were bidding. This was provided by a very famous domestic jewelry company. The model of the jewelry company was wearing the bracelet and standing on the auction platform. The auctioneer was holding a small hammer and waiting for the moment. The host was trying to introduce the origin of the agate and the resume of the bracelet sculptor.

“The person who wins the bracelet in the end will get a kiss from our model, Little Tao!” After the host introduced the bracelet, he looked at the model, Little Tao, with a slightly teasing tone.

This was a temporary adjustment of the atmosphere plus activities, but these models were all social butterflies. They were very open to these things. Maybe they would get the rich man’s favor and marry into a noble family with this kiss!

Therefore, Little Tao smiled slightly. Her lips were upturned which was particularly attractive.

The host’s suggestion made the rich people present at the scene lively and active. They all called out their own prices. The bracelet with a starting price of one hundred thousand yuan was finally called at the sky-high price of a million yuan!

A middle-aged man in his forties finally succeeded in bidding for the bracelet and went to the stage smugly.

Little Tao was kissed generously on the face by the middle-aged man. “Congratulations, Mr. Wang.”

The host had secretly told the client’s data to Little Tao, so it wasn’t uncommon for Little Tao to call him Mr. Wang.

“Can I kiss your mouth?” Mr. Wang teased.

“Not here. There are so many people!” Little Tao was also a master.

“This is my business card. You can call me at any time.” Mr. Wang was the owner of a tobacco and alcohol company. He was divorced. He was fond of the pretty Little Tao at a glance, so he bid on the bracelet with a sky-high price to get a chance to contact the beauty.

Little Tao received the boss’ business card generously. She nodded and stepped down from the stage.

Yang Ming was somewhat helpless. How is this an auction? Why does it feel like a marriage agency? This is more like a blind date! However, these hosts were arranged by the organizers. Yang Ming had no right to interfere.

“The next piece of jewelry up for auction is the imperial jade provided by Song Jiang’s Liu Weishan Jewelry Co., Ltd. Please welcome our model, Ms. Little Yan.” The host spoke as he gestured for the lady to come up.

A dazzling little girl holding a transparent crystal box with her fingertips came out from the back. If it was not Chen Mengyan, who was it?

Yang Ming suddenly sweated. Model Little Yan? When did Chen Mengyan become a part-time model? She and Lin Zhiyun can really mess around. It isn’t that the company can’t afford a model. Why do you have to be a model personally?

However, Chen Mengyan’s natural beauty is unquestionable.
