In the clubhouse.
Li Dong did not talk to Hsu Shengzhe about this anymore. He wiped his sweat and went to the side to look at jewelry.
In the eyes of the average person, the most important wedding jewelry was the diamond ring.
However, there was no need for a gold cauldron to prepare a diamond ring.
Li Dong won the Blue Vitus Bus diamond, which cost more than 25 million US dollars. It was currently the most expensive diamond in the world.
If this was not enough, then men and women in the world should not get married.
As for diamonds that were easily worth hundreds of millions of US dollars on TV and in novels, that was all nonsense. The Blue Vitus Bus was currently the most expensive diamond in the world.
As for the diamonds kept by some collectors and diamond mine owners, they claimed to be worth a lot, but that was just a claim. There had not been any actual transactions.
And without actual transactions, the estimated value was not very useful. This thing still depended on whether or not someone would take it.
If someone took over, then it would be valuable. If no one took over, then no matter how much you boasted, it would still be worthless.
The richest man in the world, coupled with the world's most expensive diamond ring, that was enough.
Of course, this diamond ring was used as an engagement ring. When they got married, both parties had to prepare a new pair of wedding rings.
However, with such a precious jade in front of them, the requirements for a wedding ring were not too high.
In the end, Li Dong and Shen Qian chose a pair of wedding rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, bracelets, hair accessories …
Most of them were for Shen Qian to wear, but Shen Qian finally customized a diamond watch for Li Dong.
Li Dong rarely wore anything. The watch he was wearing now was actually the one that Shen Qian had bought with him back then.
However, at that time, Li Dong was just a small local tycoon. He bought it in Pingchuan. It was not a custom-made one, so it was not too expensive.
Now that they were married, Shen Qian took the opportunity to customize a new one for him.
These custom-made luxury goods would not have any corporate logos on them, including Jin Ding, even if they desperately wanted to make the advertisement more in-depth.
This was also in line with Li Dong's status.
Just the two of them had more than ten pieces of jewelry.
Li Dong did not think of anything else, but Shen Qian did not forget about her future mother-in-law. She also customized a lot of jewelry for Cao Fang. Of course, Cao Fang mainly chose gold and jade, unlike most of the younger generation who chose diamonds.
After Cao Fang finished choosing, Shen Qian continued to choose a watch for Li Chengyuan, followed by Shen Xuehua. She didn't choose for Du Anmin, because Du Anmin wouldn't wear it anyway.
After the meeting with the elders, Shen Qian ordered another set of zodiac jade pendants for the two children, including the one in her belly.
It was a complete set!
According to Shen Qian's words, the rest should be kept for the children of Wang Jie, Meng Qiping, and Hsu Shengzhe. Li Dong recognized them as his godson and godson, so he couldn't be stingy.
In addition, Li Lan was his cousin after all. The richest cousin couldn't be too stingy, right?
Also, Li Qing was getting married this year, and it was uncertain when she would give birth. Cao Feng's child should also be given one …
In the end, Li Dong was dumbfounded.
…
When Shen Qian finally stopped, Li Dong went up to take a look and said casually, "How many pieces in total?"
Ji Lanxin smiled happily and immediately said, "A total of 46 pieces."
"Oh, 46 pieces …"
Li Dong smiled and didn't say anything. But everyone present was smart. Hsu Shengzhe also recovered from the mood just now. He leaned on the chair and said lazily, "Lanxin, don't say how many pieces. Count how much it is. The richest man Li's heart was bleeding now. He wanted to know how much it was. You still dare to report the number of cases, are you stupid? "
Ji Lanxin held back her laughter and coughed softly, "It's not easy to count it for the time being …"
"Then count it for him on the spot. If you don't make it clear now, he will go back on his word later. Believe me, he will do it. "
Li Dong said angrily, "Nonsense, do I look like someone who cares about money? I've just sat here for a while and earned hundreds of millions … "
"Come on!" Hsu Shengzhe sneered, "That's because the Tencent was taken, and you showed an abnormal increase. Now you're telling me that you've earned hundreds of millions. Show me. "
Li Dong had passed the peak of his wealth growth period.
If he wanted to increase it again, he could only wait for Weibo to go public. As for Tencent, even if it went public, the increase would not be too big.
Li Dong was too lazy to pay attention to him. He looked at Ji Lanxin and said, "Since he wants to count it, then help him do it. Let him see the difference between him and the richest man in China."
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Shen Qian coughed softly and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
How did this guy develop such a stingy habit?
Logically speaking, even if Li Dong was not well-off in the past, he was the only son of Cao Fang and her husband. They were not nervous about the expenses.
The children of this kind of family who were not nervous about the expenses should not be so fussy.
Shen Qian didn't know that Li Dong was really afraid of being poor in his previous life.
Especially during the time when his parents were sick, money became a lingering shadow for Li Dong.
His parents' savings, his house, and everything else were all spent. He borrowed money everywhere and was looked down upon by others. Even if Li Dong thought it was a dream, he could not forget such days.
In this life, Li Dong was actually willing to spend money on others.
Whether it was Qin Yuhan, Yuan Xue, or his parents, he did not feel much about how much he spent.
Of course, they would not spend money recklessly.
Even Yuan Xue, who wanted to squander all of Li Dong's assets, could not make up for Li Dong's one day's earnings in her snack bar.
However, Li Dong could not be considered stingy with himself. He would only spend what he needed to spend. He would only spend what he had to.
Things like cars and private jets were necessities now.
Houses were good for keeping their value.
As for other things, Li Dong had not really spent a lot of money. He was not frugal. Li Dong did not mistreat himself when it came to food, clothing, drinks, and accommodation.
But he was not like Hsu Shengzhe, who had some hobbies. He often spent tens of millions or even tens of millions for a car that was not worth much but was very rare.
Hsu Shengzhe had spent at least 100 million or more on cars in the past few years.
As for whether there was value in collecting them, in Li Dong's opinion, these old cars were worthless. Hsu Shengzhe was obviously an idiot who would not invest in them.
So, Li Dong really did not have the money to spend on these things.
Therefore, in everyone's eyes, Li Dong became the synonym of stingy.
This time, Li Dong spent 20 billion on Far away and users. Outsiders did not say that he was stingy, but they said that he was frugal.
He maintained the good style of the older generation, diligent and thrifty …
Anyway, there were a lot of compliments. But to people like Hsu Shengzhe, Li Dong was just stingy, and it was a habit for him to be stingy.
They did not understand, and Li Dong did not explain to them.
Having money did not mean that one had to spend it. Why should one spend if there was no need to?
Actually, the real big entrepreneurs were not extravagant and wasteful.
At Li Dong's level, even a casual pair of pants was cheap. But when they wore it, people felt that it was more expensive than gold.
Li Dong had passed the time to rely on these to show his status and taste.
As for his hobbies, he had thought of cultivating some hobbies. But his hobby was to earn money, and there was no need to cultivate it. He was more willing to spend money on this hobby. Sometimes, he could spend hundreds of billions without even blinking.
Comparing how much money he spent on his hobbies, Hsu Shengzhe paled in comparison. Li Dong could not be bothered to show off.
Just as the few of them were teasing each other, Ji Lanxin saw that Li Dong did not object, so she went with the flow and did some calculations.
In the end, Ji Lanxin coughed lightly and said, "This time, you are using jewelry from the Golden Cauldron for your wedding. Actually, it's reasonable to not charge you. But … "
Li Dong waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't stand on ceremony with me. If you really don't charge me, your old man will faint from crying. Just give me how much it should be. Since we are doing business, we should treat it as business. It's not just one or two pieces. When I get married, just give me a bigger red packet. "
Ji Lanxin heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. It was not that she was stingy, but that this time, it was really expensive.
These jewelry were all designed by top designers. Just the design cost was not a small amount.
Furthermore, the materials were expensive. Shen Qian had high standards. Some of the jewelry that she chose were all top-notch diamonds and jade.
The cost of these things was easily a few million. It would have been fine if it was less, but with so many of them, Ji Yuanzhong would probably faint from crying.
"It's a total of 48 million …"
Ji Lanxin said. She did not say anything about a discount or price reduction. It was meaningless to say that.
However, Shen Qian smiled and said, "48 million is the cost, right? The cost of such top-notch jewelry is actually only a small proportion. Since we are doing business, who would do business that is not profitable? Li Dong said that there's no need to stand on ceremony, so there's no need to stand on ceremony. Besides, you still have to pay taxes. The taxes for luxury goods like jewelry are not low. In the end, you will still lose money. Let's make it 66 million. It's an auspicious number … "
Although she said that, Li Dong's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets!
This prodigal woman!
48 million was enough to make him cry. You just added 18 million. Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this, right?
Ji Lanxin did not calculate the taxes because this time, it was equivalent to Li Dong endorsing them and helping them open up the market of the top circle. Between the two parties, it should be equal.
However, with Shen Qian's words, it would be embarrassing for Li Dong to pretend that he did not know.
Although his heart was bleeding, Li Dong smiled and said, "Lanxin, do you still want to tell me this? Just according to the number Shen Qian said, I will transfer it to Jin Ding later. It doesn't make sense for me to buy some jewelry for my wedding. If word gets out, how will outsiders think of me, Li Dong? Alright, that's it. However, Jin Ding has to be quick. After all, it's almost time … "
Ji Lanxin did not argue. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will be ready soon. We will try to try it on the first of next month. If you are not satisfied, we can make some adjustments …"
"Okay, we will contact you then."
Li Dong said a few polite words. Then, they had nothing else to do. After chatting for a while, they went their separate ways.
After Li Dong and Shen Qian left, Hsu Shengzhe suddenly laughed and said happily, "Did you see that? This guy, his expression just now looked like he was constipated. I was dying of laughter! If it wasn't for fear that he would turn hostile on the spot and ruin your business, I would not have held it in … "
Hsu Shengzhe was still laughing, but Ji Lanxin said faintly, "No matter how stingy he is, he did not hesitate to spend 200 million to buy a diamond ring for Shen Qian. He is willing to buy something for the person he likes, no matter how expensive it is. But some people, even if it is a gift of 10 yuan, I am afraid they are not willing to give it. "
"…"
Hsu Shengzhe's laughter stopped abruptly. Then, he looked at the sky and looked at his watch. He got up and said hurriedly, "Oh no, I forgot to attend a meeting. I have to go back. You arrange your own things, I will leave first."
"Am I not worth you staying for a moment for me?" Ji Lanxin said again with hidden bitterness.
Hsu Shengzhe said as he walked, "It's fine if you want me to accompany you to bed. I like it when we satisfy each other's needs. When it comes to marriage and relationships, I am not cut out for that. I am a cold person. There is no need to do this next time. Why embarrass each other? Talking about relationships hurts friendship. Li Dong now avoids Hu Xiaorui whenever he sees her. I don't want to see you like this the next time I see you. Alright, I will leave first. I have already said that I do not play with relationships. "
After saying this, Hsu Shengzhe quickly walked away without any hesitation.
Ji Lanxin sighed softly. If he was really cold, he would not have said all this.
Some people, the colder they are, the more they value relationships.
They will not fall in love easily. Once they fall in love, they will fall in love for the rest of their lives.
Hsu Shengzhe is obviously this kind of person.
He may look cynical and say that he is cold-blooded and heartless, but that is because he does not dare and is not willing to fall in love.
He is afraid that if he falls in, he will not be able to get out.
He mocked Li Dong. In fact, Li Dong is bolder than him. Li Dong at least dares to do it. He does not even dare to do it. This kind of person is the most insecure.
The real Hsu Shengzhe may be more fragile than he looks.
…
Outside the clubhouse.
Li Dong got into the car and grumbled, "What a prodigal woman. Since Ji Lanxin gave us this price, we will accept it. She even took the initiative to increase the price. Do you know how to do business? Do you think she did not add tax on the 48 million? Some of the jewels have already added tax when they reach Jin Ding. At most, the tax is about 20%. We still lost 8 million … "
Shen Qian smiled and said, "It's okay. I have money. I don't care about the 8 million …"
"…"
With that, what else could Li Dong say?
Glaring at her, Li Dong muttered, "Even if I have money, it belongs to my son. My son's money is mine. In the end, it is still my money."
Shen Qian laughed heartily and finally said, "I told you long ago, don't use favors where you can spend money. Now, is a favor only worth this little money? Alright, look at you stingy. At most, after the wedding, we will sell it. After we wear it, it will not depreciate, it will only increase in value … "
"We can't afford to lose face!"
Li Dong said, then smiled and said, "It's okay. This money will be earned back from Ji Lanxin sooner or later. Hsu Shengzhe is preparing for an IPO. I will be sorry if I don't earn 10 billion this time. "
"10 billion!"
Shen Qian was surprised. This guy said 10 billion as if it was 100 yuan. When did money become so easy to earn?
Li Dong smiled mysteriously, but he did not want to say more.
Shen Qian saw this and did not ask. She just frowned and said, "Some money, if there is risk, then don't earn it. Even if Longhua IPO, it will not have such a big increase. I don't care how you guys discuss, but you are not allowed to take risks. If you take risks, so what if you earn 100 billion? "
"It's not me. Hsu Shengzhe is gambling with Longhua.
He gambled in front of his father, in front of his unconscious big brother, and in front of everyone!
I can't stop him. In fact, no one can stop him.
After this gamble, he will stop.
If he wins, it will be the best. If he loses, as long as he doesn't do anything stupid, he will still have 5% shares in the retail business Far away, enough for his family to live for a few lifetimes.
He can't get over himself. He says he doesn't care about his identity as a second-generation heir, but in fact, he cares more than you do.
If you don't give him a chance to prove himself, with his character, sooner or later, he will get into bigger trouble.
I have seen through this a long time ago. "
When did you see through this?
It was that time at the green space!
Since the kindergarten collapse incident, Li Dong had seen through Hsu Shengzhe.
If he doesn't give him a chance to prove himself, sooner or later, Hsu Shengzhe will get into bigger trouble.
Shen Qian frowned and nodded after a while.
Hsu Shengzhe is gambling with him, and it's fine as long as Li Dong does not participate. As for Hsu Shengzhe, he is not Shen Qian's man. She can't be bothered with him.
