Chapter 237 Guidance
"Can a regular student play this game?"
"It's standard procedure, but the price is on the high side."
Wu Yingrong brewed tea, as if this was a common occurrence for him.
"How does it work?"
"Yu Chi Lin's beauty salon offers a premium VIP wellness card for men, refundable at any time within one year."
I vaguely remember that Yu Chi Lin didn't introduce it to me at the time. I was wondering what kind of person could afford to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan on memberships at a health club. Now I understand, as long as the high-priced services are for people who need them, their existence is justified.
"I'm taking Ji Xin back to Liancheng this afternoon. Do you want to come along?"
"What? You don't even hide your dates from me anymore?"
"Well, her family is in the export trade of synthetic diamonds. I also have a company in Liancheng that does export trade. I'd like her to go and give them some guidance. If we can combine our efforts to expand the market, that would be even better."
Wu Yingrong shook her head: "The club can't be without people, you guys go ahead."
"You're really dedicated."
Xiao Qi drove to pick up Ji Xin.
She is a very quiet girl; she rarely speaks when we meet for meals or tea.
She was of medium height and slender build, wearing a light beige silk blend shirt. Her hair was straight and shoulder-length, naturally black, with the ends neatly trimmed. Occasionally, a few strands would brush against her neck, and she would gently tuck them behind her ears with her slender fingertips. She wore an inconspicuous silver bracelet on her left wrist, which was also slender.
She wasn't wearing heavy makeup, just a layer of lip balm. Her skin was very well-maintained, with a cool, fair complexion. She had thin eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and a straight nose.
She wore a pair of smoky gray high-waisted wide-leg pants, the hem of which just covered the top of her shoes, and a pair of white sneakers, which looked cute and playful.
"I never expected that President Shen would actually ask me out alone."
"I've come to ask for your help. Yingrong only introduced you as a rich woman, Ji Xin, but she didn't say that you can sell diamonds for tens of millions of dollars a year."
"I never expected that Mr. Shen would also be involved in foreign trade."
Ji Xin's gaze was too much for me to handle. Before going to the Liancheng NQ Erotic Production Workshop, I didn't plan to tell her about my export products.
Until we arrived at the entrance of the NT Industrial Park...
"So you're the boss behind NQ!"
I touched my nose: "What, is NQ that famous?"
Ji Xin covered her mouth, smiling without showing her teeth: "NQ isn't famous, but NQ is well-known in export trade for its strategic application and development of AI in sex toys. Now, the domestic market is researching and developing this sector, but NQ has already begun to conquer the markets of Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea. Many people are asking who is so talented as to combine AI with sex toys. Many people praise you as a genius, while others say you are a pervert."
"Um, let's go in and take a look."
After nearly a year of development, NQ has become a huge sex toy industry chain.
In the words of wheat, "Our production capacity is already sufficient; all we need is time to conquer the global market!"
As soon as we entered the workshop, Tianni and Xiaomai came over as well.
"elder brother."
"Let me introduce you. This is Ji Xin from the provincial capital. We have a mature synthetic diamond market and well-established land, sea and air freight channels around the world. We are here today hoping to help you accelerate the expansion of your overseas market."
The girl, who was rather quiet in the car, simply nodded slightly when she faced the two of them.
"NQ's products are unique in the international market. However, as far as I know, many domestic sex toy companies and even foreign trade companies have started to enter this market. Therefore, NQ will only have less than two years of profit-making opportunities before it enters a period of price wars and intense competition."
Xiaomai and Tianni nodded in strong agreement.
"So you have two paths to take. First, seize the market and earn profits for two years."
"What about the second option?"
"Sell the brand, like Coca-Cola, open up the technology and the brand. Instead of competing two years from now, start bringing your competitors under your umbrella this year."
Hearing Ji Xin's answer, my eyes lit up. My original plan was to sell NQ in a little over a year and not make any quick money in the last wave of the industry.
But Ji Xin described a multinational business empire to me in just a few words.
"I originally planned to bring you here to give you some pointers and then head back to the provincial capital, but your remarks have really moved me, so I've decided to invite you to dinner tonight to properly thank you."
Ji Xin's eyes held amusement, and a strand of hair playfully peeked out from behind her ears: "President Shen, you know what I want, otherwise, I wouldn't have come today."
"Of course, you reciprocate kindness with kindness."
restaurant.
Private chef.
There was no one else, only Ji Xin and me.
"I thought tonight would be like any other night, a room full of people."
"I don't like large crowds; sometimes I just go through the motions."
"Was it just a perfunctory gesture when you invited the four of us that day?"
"Yes, thank you for your investment."
"You're so straightforward."
"If I were after your beauty, I would shower you with sweet words; if I were after your wealth, I would at least set a trap for you. But now I am sincerely inviting you to cooperate. At our level, we have no more tricks to play. Simple and direct solutions are the best way to solve problems."
Ji Xin seemed very interested in discussing this issue.
"Oh, so Mr. Shen already has a plan in mind, and bringing me here today was just a formality?"
Ji Xin is a quiet girl.
Quiet people are meticulous.
"A plan is a plan. As the old saying goes, man proposes, God disposes. All I can do is show you the truth. Whether you do it or not is your choice."
Ji Xin raised her wine glass: "A toast to you."
"I'm not a talkative person, but I'm not bad at speaking. Everyone says I'm the apple of the Ji family's eye, inheriting a huge family business at birth. But who knows that the Ji family's global export market for synthetic diamonds was developed step by step by me over the past ten years? I have no friends because they have ulterior motives towards me. I watch my peers because their clumsy acting is entertaining to me. I met Wu Yingrong because I felt her indomitable spirit. Of course, the biggest gain is meeting you, who still remains unfathomable to me. Today, knowing that you are the head of NQ, I have a higher opinion of you. I used to think Wu Yingrong was your lover, but now I think she's not worthy."
Has anyone ever told you that you're arrogant?
"Three. One was after my money, one was after my body, and the other was overestimating himself and trying to take everything."
I have met capable people, such as Bai Hua.
I've seen foolish people too, like Ding Mo.
There are many more ambitious people, such as Chen Yuanyuan, Zheng Peipei, and Wu Yingrong.
But none of them lived with such clarity and understanding as Ji Xin. She was self-possessed yet didn't dwell on things too much; she possessed a profound wisdom that appeared as foolishness, observing the myriad aspects of life with equanimity.
"You must be very lonely."
"Like you."
