Chapter 45 Order a Coffin

Longfengxiang's main store in Shanghai is different from the magnificent branches of Longfengxiang that are now blooming all over China.

The decoration style of this century-old store is closer to the old Shanghai of the last century.

There is not much exaggeration in colors and lighting, low-key but luxurious, ordinary and extraordinary everywhere.

It is very similar to the old Shanghai of the last century, with its own old-fashioned style in the midst of the lights and wine.

The old store is not big, a three-story building with a total area of ​​no more than 1,000 square meters.

A wooden plaque that looks quite old is inscribed with the three characters of Longfengxiang in a flamboyant style.

There is a parking lot of more than 1,000 square meters at the door.

Let's not talk about practicality first. In Shanghai, where every inch of land is valuable, a gold and silver jewelry store has a ground parking lot of more than 1,000 square meters at the door, which is a symbol of strength in itself.

Since it is an old store, the main store, the business is naturally different from other branches.

The business of the old store is mainly customized in the Chinese style.

The old store does not have diamond jewelry, which is a booming business in other branches.

Only some gold and silver jewelry and jade customization.

A new model of this year's Rolls-Royce Phantom Acacia wood version slowly arrived at the door of Longfengxiang's old store.

Without waiting for the driver in a black suit and white gloves to get off the car, the doorman responsible for welcoming guests ran to the front in three or two steps and opened the back door with familiarity.

"Welcome to Longfengxiang's century-old store!"

As the doorman's fairy voice sounded, a young man in casual clothes got out of the car.

Slippers, shorts, and a white shirt made of linen.

An extremely casual outfit.

The doorman was sharp-eyed and saw at a glance that every piece of clothing on this young man who looked casually dressed was a summer limited edition of a luxury brand.

Even the pair of slippers on his feet cost him almost a month's salary.

The smile on his face became even brighter.

"The first floor is full of finished jewelry and jade, and the second floor is dedicated to customization. We have the best designers and masters in the industry here. Would you like to take a look on the first floor first or go to the second floor for tea?"

"Go to the second floor and call your manager over. What I want this time is special, so I have to have a good chat with him!"

Qin Xiao smiled and nodded.

Someone in the store naturally took Qin Xiao to the second floor.

The second floor is a hall, and the walls are hung with some designers, the names and photos of the carving masters, as well as their previous works and awards and honors.

The top designers and masters in the store generally don't make a move easily unless you spend a lot of money or have some top-notch materials in your hands.

After being taken around the hall, the manager of the store came out in a hurry.

Take Qin Xiao into the small rooms next to the hall.

Each room here is designed to look like a small tea room, specially used to entertain various high-end customized customers.

The manager let Qin Xiao into the room and asked Qin Xiao to choose a kind of tea. A little girl who was responsible for making tea came over and made a pot of tea.

After Qin Xiao drank a cup of tea, he poured a full cup of tea.

The manager then slowly started to talk about business.

"Mr. Qin, do you want a piece of jewelry or decoration, or do you have a rare good material in your hand and want our master to carve it?"

Qin Xiao held the empty teacup in his hand and gently pushed it in front of the girl, waiting for her to pour another full cup of tea into the cup.

Then he smiled and said to the manager.

"I don't need a very professional master. I am going to make something with pure gold. It is very large and requires a lot of gold, but I don't have any big requirements for carving."

A large amount?

The manager just felt that this deal might not be as big as he imagined.

It's just gold. What do you want to make of gold? A chair, table or an exquisite ornament?

"I wonder what Mr. Qin needs to customize? Furniture? Buddha statue or something else?"

Although the manager was a little disappointed, he still asked very politely.

"Coffin!"

Qin Xiao drank the tea in the cup again in one gulp, put the cup heavily on the coffee table and said.

...

Five days, Qin Xiao gave them five days.

It doesn't matter how exquisite the carving is, as long as it is square and looks like a standard coffin.

A pure gold coffin, Longfengxiang would not accept it.

But Qin Xiao offered a processing fee of one million yuan in addition to the market price of gold.

This made Longfengxiang's manager unable to refuse.

They have many processing factories, whether it is Buddha statues or furniture, all kinds of large things.

It's nothing more than making molds and smelting.

Everything will be easy once the money is in place.

It was agreed that the goods would be delivered in five days, and Qin Xiao walked out of the store leisurely.

"Uncle Wang, let's find a place to eat first, and then find a nightclub that is larger and more mixed. It doesn't matter if it's not in the city center!"

Qin Xiao said to the driver in the car as soon as he got in the car.

This is the third day since Qin Xiao came to the Magic City. The car was just bought, and the driver is an old Magic City man. Qin Xiao hired him temporarily through the hotel where he stayed. He is familiar with any place in the Magic City and his salary is paid daily.

After finding a place to have dinner, the driver drove the car to a building in the eastern suburbs.

"This is almost the most mixed-up place in Shanghai. There are bathrooms, KTVs and nightclubs here. As long as you have money, you can find any service here."

Maybe it's because Qin Xiao has been generous with his actions in the past two days, and he's also very polite and respectful to him.

The driver, Uncle Wang, hesitated and said again.

"Mr. Qin, let me just say one more thing. You have a good family background, and you are young and have a great time. It's okay to play a little ridiculously and live in a drunken dream. But there are some things that you must not touch. If you touch them for the rest of your life, it will be over."

Uncle Wang reminded kindly.

He thought Qin Xiao was looking for places where dragons and snakes mixed together by name, and he thought he had some bad habits.

For example, taking some addictive drugs.

Qin Xiao laughed and patted Uncle Wang on the shoulder.

"Thank you. It's unnecessary for you to worry. I'm just here to find some people to help me with some things!"

After saying that, he didn't forget to take out a thin wad of banknotes and stuff them into Uncle Wang's hand.

"You get off work today, and I will drive back to the hotel by myself. You can just come to the hotel to find me tomorrow!"

Uncle Wang was dubious about Qin Xiao's words, but since he was just a part-time worker, he had already said what he said.

Sighing slightly, he took Qin Xiao's money and got out of the car.

It's just past dinner time, and the nightclub here hasn't opened yet.

There are not many people in bathing and KTV.

After putting the car in the parking lot, Qin Xiao walked directly through the bathroom door.

Following the deafening welcome from several guests at the door.

A waiter led Qin Xiao toward the lobby inside.

This bathroom is of good quality, and the lobby is about ten meters high.

The waiter took Qin Xiao to sit on the sofas on both sides.

"Brother, if you want to take a shower, I'll help you put on your shoes first!"

The waiter held slippers in his hand and said respectfully.

"I'm not going to take a shower. I'm here to discuss some business with your boss. Can you call someone who can make the decision to come out and talk!"

Qin Xiao said with a slight smile.

How is it possible that just by visiting a place like this, you can meet the boss?

The waiter was stunned for a moment, but still said with a smile on his face.

"Brother, I can't see the boss casually. If you have any questions, just tell me directly. If I can't make the decision, I'll ask our manager to come out and serve you. Do you think that's okay?"

The words were still polite, but there was a hint of force in them.

Qin Xiao didn't mind, and reached out to pick up the ashtray from the coffee table in front of him.

"I want to make a mess and you can make the decision?"
