Chapter 61: The Jade Trade Fair
Further west from the Xicheng District, that should be the Yuanxi Development Zone in the future.
When Gu Qingchen heard this news, she immediately became much more spirited. The Yuanxi Development Zone was a key development area in City Y. Later, City Y shifted its economic focus to the Yuanxi Development Zone. Even the city government was moved to there.
It showed that how much importance the government placed on the Yuanxi Development Zone.
At this time, the Yuanxi Development Zone was still a barren and undeveloped area. If she could seize the opportunity, she would really be able to gain a foothold.
“You guys should understand more about the situation there. I have plans to set up a company, but now is not the time. Xiang Yang, since you are an accountant, you will keep the money for now. Record down the daily expenses. From now on, you all will receive twice your previous salary monthly. When the company is set up in the future, we will reschedule the salary.”
Wen Qing and the others were dumbfounded. They blinked, thinking that they had heard wrong.
Double their previous salary? Building a company on her own?
With a student like Gu Qingchen? And ordinary people like them?
Wasn’t that a little too ambitious?
Xiang Yang looked deeply at Gu Qingchen for a long time. After a long while, he nodded solemnly, “Don’t worry, Ms. Gu. I’ll do what you asked.”
Compared to others, Xiang Yang was more farsighted. From what happened that day, even though Gu Qingchen was only a child, she was very open-minded and bold in doing big things. In addition to that Young Master Rong…
Xiang Yang felt that it was not impossible for Gu Qingchen to set up her own company.
And for them, this was also a chance, a chance to turn things around.
Seeing the gleam in Xiang Yang’s eyes, Gu Qingchen knew that she had made a right choice to let Xiang Yang handle this matter.
Xiang Yang was loyal and courageous. As an accountant, he was meticulous. Most importantly, he lacked an opportunity.
Now, Gu Qingchen had given him an opportunity. Xiang Yang would definitely treasure it. The person Gu Qingchen needed was someone like Xiang Yang.
She had achieved her goal today. She knew that as long as she took care of Xiang Yang, everything would become easier. Xiang Yang would help her to handle the rest.
Gu Qingchen needed to learn how to utilize her subordinates right now. Since she had a goal, she had to start learning.
Gu Qingchen gave Xiang Yang one million dollars. When Xiang Yang received the one million dollars, his whole body froze. Although it was only a check, it felt heavy and a little hard to hold.
Strangely, Gu Qingchen gave him a one million dollars check, but he did not have the slightest intention to steal the money. Instead, he was full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit.
In the following days, because Gu Qingchen was enrolled into Hongfeng, Gu Qingchen had to go through the procedures to leave the school.
Then, she would handle the admission of Hongfeng next month.
Therefore, Gu Qingchen had more time to rest, and she had time to learn about the jade industry with her father, Gu Yuanchuan. In order to better understand the jade industry, Gu Qingchen also read a lot of books about jade. Finally, she had basically became a beginner.
Before, it was purely based on luck. Now, she could use her knowledge and special perception of jade to trade jade.
Gu Yuanchuan was also a person who would not admit defeat. During this period of time, he had also focused on studying jade trading. Now, Gu Yuanchuan and Zhou Xiang had become friends. Zhou Xiang was a really good person. He had always brought Gu Yuanchuan to understand the market situation.
The current Gu Yuanchuan was no longer impulsive and did not understand jade at all.
“Chenchen, I heard from Zhou Xiang that at the end of the month, there will be a large-scale jade trade fair near the border of Myanmar. If we can go there and have a look, we should be able to gain a lot of knowledge. It’s a pity that we have just stepped into this industry. We can’t participate without an acquittance to bring us there.”
Gu Yuanchuan spoke with a bit of regret, a trace of desire in his eyes.
Gu Qingchen paused, “Dad, are you talking about the jade trade fair at the end of the month?”
Gu Qingchen seemed to have thought of something, and Gu Yuanchuan nodded, “Yes, it’s quite large-scale. Generally, only the jade people know about it. If I didn’t enter the jade industry, how would I know about this. Now that I think about it, when I first knew about the jade industry, I should have changed my career.”
Gu Qingchen thought for a moment, then rummaged through the pockets of a piece of clothing and took out a business card.
“Dad, I think we can go to the jade trade fair to have a look.”
Gu Qingchen called Ding Hao on the business card. Previously, Ding Hao had invited Gu Qingchen to participate in a jade trade fair outside the gambling place. It was also at the end of this month. Gu Qingchen thought of what Ding Hao had said when she heard his father mentioned the jade trade fair.
It was likely that the two of them were talking about the same fair.
Ding Hao quickly answered Gu Qingchen’s call. When he heard that Gu Qingchen intended to go with him, he seemed to be quite happy.
Gu Qingchen, on the other hand, made the excuse that she was young and needed to be accompanied by her family. She even asked for an extra slot for her father, and Ding Hao readily agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yuanchuan looked at his daughter with a sad expression. After a long while, he sighed, “If it weren’t for my blind eye and trusting the wrong person, you wouldn’t have grown up so quickly. You would have been able to enjoy a carefree life for a few more years. It’s all my fault.”
Gu Yuanchuan had always been the backbone of this family. He also hoped that his daughter would be able to live a carefree life. In the end, he went bankrupt. He had thought of committing suicide several times. Fortunately, he didn’t do it.
Even so, Gu Yuanchuan also realized that the originally childish Gu Qingchen seemed to have grown up overnight. This was all because of the family accident.
Gu Qingchen smiled and grabbed Gu Yuanchuan’s arm. She said coquettishly, “Dad, you can’t say that. No matter what I look like, I will always be your obedient daughter. Look at me now. I’m so sensible. Maybe in the future, I can become an outstanding female entrepreneur. If I really did so, it must because of your excellent genes. When the time comes, we will join hands and laugh proudly of our achievement!”
Pfft
Gu Yuanchuan was amused by his daughter’s funny words. He tapped Gu Qingchen’s forehead with his hand, “You little girl, you’ve read too many novels.”
Gu Qingchen shrugged and stuck out her pink tongue. She smiled happily, and Gu Yuanchuan’s mood had brighten a lot.
Soon, it was the end of the month. Gu Qingchen and Gu Yuanchuan got up early and rushed to the airport. Ding Hao was already waiting at the airport.
Seeing Gu Qingchen coming, Ding Hao showed a relaxed smile. He quickly walked towards Gu Qingchen, took a look at Gu Yuanchuan, shook hands with Gu Yuanchuan, and exchanged a few words.
Gu Qingchen looked behind Ding Hao and found that there was only one assistant helping Ding Hao carry his bag. She did not see anyone else.
If she remembered correctly, Ding Hao had said that would be a few more people to go with them.
Where were they?
