The design of a successful jewelry is no less difficult than the design of a successful software. This requires the designer to have instant inspiration and full control.
Therefore, the income of these top designers is often very high. Liv took over Qin Shiou's work on behalf of Tiffany, regardless of the cost, the design fee alone would cost $280,000!
Seeing the initial contract, Qin Shiou sighed and said: “No wonder some people say that this is an entertainment for the rich. It seems that ordinary people like us can design a set of jewelry in a lifetime. It seems to be a luxury.”
Liv covered her mouth and smiled: "No wonder Mr. Black said that you like to make jokes, Mr. Qin, if you are ordinary people who have millions of black pearls and black gold centurion cards, don't we want to live in a slum? Go?"
Qin Shiou smiled, it seems that Little Black has told Tiffany about some of his financial information. This is normal. How could Tiffany’s store manager and chief designer take time to accompany customers?
"Can it be cheaper?" Qin Shiou joked.
Liv smiled and said: "It's a coincidence, Mr. Qin, a gentleman asked the same question as you, and the answer we gave was: When President Lincoln came to buy jewelry, we didn't give any discount. It’s fair to customers, so we can’t give you a discount."
Billy whispered to Qin Shiou with a smile: "Tiffany looks down on you very much. Do you know who the'a gentleman' is in the mouth of store manager Liv? Dwight David Eisenhower!"
Tiffany did give Qin Shiou enough courtesy. It was the chief designer who sent him to receive him, and the higher courtesy was when the boss came forward. Generally only presidents, famous politicians, superstars and super rich people will enjoy such preferential treatment.
Don’t talk about Tiffany’s pretense, people do have this kind of compulsion. As the top jewelry supplier in the United States, Tiffany can be called the presidential jewelry supplier of the United States.
Since 1861. At that time, President Lincoln spent $530 in Tiffany's shop to buy a set of pearl jewelry for his wife Mary, so that she could wear it at the president's re-election ceremony. Since then, other US presidents and foreign heads of state have rushed to follow suit. At the inaugural hall of the last President Obama, the brooch carried by his wife Michelle came from Tiffany.
Qin Shiou can enjoy this treatment, in fact, it is not only the role of the black gold centurion card, he underestimated his status in the upper class in the United States, and the Strauss family dinner has made him a little famous in this circle.
After paying the deposit, Qin Shiou, accompanied by Liv, briefly visited the jewelry in the Tiffany flagship store. This is a routine hospitality and aims to increase the confidence of customers in them.
Went around in this luxurious palace. Qin Shiou almost flashed blindly. What gold and platinum are the supporting roles here, and the protagonists are those diamonds, gems, emeralds and various rare metals.
Qin Shiou just took a look. It’s really boring for a man to visit this place. If it’s a gun shop, he would play for a while. What is the interest of the jewellery shop for the masters?
Walking around, he left. It's better to talk nonsense with Billy.
Originally, according to Qin Shiou’s plan, he did not stay in New York, sent the Black Pearl to Tiffany, and then flew home directly.
But Billy enthusiastically kept him in the Big Apple City for fun, and Qin Shiou thought about staying in the small town and didn’t have the energy, so he stayed.
But he is not just playing, first talked with Billy about the publicity of Van Gogh's paintings. Billy said that the publicity was very successful, and now the entire European collection circle is crazy. The Van Gogh Collection Museum in the Netherlands has sent people to contact them several times to retrieve the paintings.
Qin Shiou said: "If the Dutch are interested. Then talk to them. You don't have to go to the auction, and you can sell it at the right price."
He doesn't take money seriously. It would be a good talk if Van Gogh's paintings returned to the museum built for him.
Billy smiled contemptuously. Said: "Let them dream, those guys actually talked to me about dedication and sacrifice. Want to let us donate the paintings to the museum for free, you say, can it work?"
"Nor when you are dreaming!" Qin Shiou said categorically, your sister, is it time to talk to Lao Tzu about dedication and sacrifice? Why didn't you talk about it when you organized a group of eight-nation coalition forces to brush our copy of Kyoto?
After talking about "Sunset of Montmartre", Qin Shiou took out his mobile phone and showed Billy the string of red coral beads, asking if it was worth the money.
Although Billy is a diver, he was born there after all, plus the university is at Columbia University, his major is archeology and art appreciation, and he has no ability to say.
After just looking at these photos, Billy said: "This should be your Chinese cultural relic. During the Qing Dynasty, your first- and second-grade court beads were made of red coral. However, this string should be worthless, and there is nothing on the beads. Any information that can prove the identity of its owner, so it cannot be sold at a high price."
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, “That’s okay. I’ll leave it to make decorations.”
He doesn't have a cold with Qing dynasty cultural relics. As a young angry man, he is not interested in everything in the Qing dynasty.
Listening to Qin Shiou’s words, Billy gave a chuckle, and he leaned forward and said, “Although I said this thing is not valuable, it doesn’t mean that it can’t be sold at a high price. The actual value of the item is not the same as its price.”
Qin Shiou asked with interest: "What can you do to drive up the price of this thing?"
Billy said, "It's very simple, hype! Isn't there no information on the Chaozhu? We can get a little bit for it? This thing is very good in our family. Look at me, this time I have to show you something. My energy."
"How far can it be?"
"Now this string of beads can sell at most 100,000 yuan, I can sell it to more than one million!"
"So amazing? You are going against the sky."
"Fight against the sky? Rebellious against God's will? This is not good, but in order for you to recognize me, then I will do it once."
Qin Shiou patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Good boy, work hard, I am optimistic about you."
Speaking this way, Qin Shiou couldn't help but laugh first.
But Billy is not joking. He really needs to show Qin Shiou his extraordinary place. The painting "Sunset of Montmartre", strictly speaking, has nothing to do with his income. But because of the cooperation agreement, he can still get the money, so if he wants to get the money at ease, he has to let other partners realize the necessity of his own existence.
His ability is not only reflected in business, but also in eating, drinking and having fun.
When you come to New York, the first thing you need to enjoy is food. This international capital has more than 18,000 restaurants that it is proud of. No other city can match the flavors of food.
As everyone knows, New York is nicknamed the "Big Apple City". What few people notice is that this city is also known as the "City of Food".
At five o'clock in the evening, Billy took Qin Shiou to a tower-shaped building in Manhattan, and took the outdoor elevator directly to the top of the building. Dinner was here.
As a result, when he took the outdoor elevator, Qin Shiou was amused... (to be continued~^~)
