My Life Simulator

Rain City "Riverside Courtyard".

Liu's mother is taking selfies from different angles, and posting on Moments that she is jewelry.

Lu Li won the Bian He Award and became the youngest master of jade carving. Mother Liu already knew the news.

In the past two days, the news of Yucheng TV station specially broadcast the news that Lu Li won the Bian He Award.

So... Liu's mother once again posted the jewelry that Lu Li gave her, and specially added a sentence below: "This is the work of Lu Li, the work of Lu Li, the winner of the Bian He Award and the youngest master of jade carving."

As soon as it was posted in the circle of friends, Mama Liu's friends immediately became envious and jealous.

"Lao Liu is so kind to you? He's willing to buy you this kind of jewelry?"

"Yeah! The works of jade carving masters must be expensive. Big sister, can you ask me about your experience as a trainer?"

Liu's mother smiled and replied, "What does it have to do with Lao Liu? Lu Li is my daughter's boyfriend! This is what Lu Li gave to me!"

So... the following is a series of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Seeing the envy, jealousy and hatred of these people, Mama Liu was happy. My son-in-law is so amazing! I envy you to death!

"Everyone, here's a piece of news."

"The latest news from this station, Lu Li, a famous young artist in our city and a famous jade carving master, held a jade carving exhibition in Ruili."

"At this exhibition, the sixteen pieces of jade sculptures created by Lu Li were sold for a total of 3.45 billion yuan, setting a new record for the auction of individual works in the jade sculpture industry."

"Master Lu Li has become a top master in the jade carving industry."

Hearing this news, Liu's mother was shocked, "Wow! Lao Liu, Lao Liu, come and see! Come and see! My son-in-law is on TV again!"

"What son-in-law is not a son-in-law?"

Dad Liu came out of the study with a displeased expression on his face, "You should also pay attention to what you say. Don't you have a long memory for the joke you made last time?"

As the numbers fell, Dad Liu was shocked when he saw the report on TV, "Three... three.4 billion?"

An auction that sold 3.45 billion?

This kid Lu Li... is really amazing! Lao Tzu has worked hard all his life, and it is not as good as an auction for him!

Doing art, actually... making money like this?

"Hahaha! Did you see it? Lao Liu, did you see it?"

Liu's mother showed off proudly, "How is my vision? How is my vision for choosing a son-in-law?"

Dad Liu was silent.

From the point of view of choosing a son-in-law, my vision is really not as good as that of my wife.

However, on second thought, my wife's eyesight is good, isn't it normal? She chose me as her husband, which has long proven her vision.

Dad Liu smiled and nodded, "Indeed! Your vision for choosing a son-in-law is as good as your vision for choosing a husband!"

"Uh?"

Mother Liu's face froze. I have a good eye, can you explain it like this?

...

In the vegetable market, Lu's father and Lu's mother delivered vegetables again.

Your son earns 3.4 billion, but you are too embarrassed to receive money for selling vegetables?

"Old Lu, our son has already made several billions?"

Lu's mother still hasn't recovered.

"Certainly not so much."

Dad Lu explained with a smile: "The 3.4 billion is just like the construction cost on the construction site, and the profit is definitely not that much."

"Even if it's not so much, it's... a lot of money!"

Mother Lu's face was blank, "Old Lu! Our family... seems to have made a fortune!"

"definitely!"

Dad Lu nodded, "I must have made a fortune! My son has made a lot of money!"

...

On the Mizuki campus.

Zhou Yan screamed again and ran to Liu Qin: "Fuck! Liu Qin, come and see! Your family, Lu Li, is already a billionaire."

"What billionaire?"

Liu Qin's face was helpless, "Don't you be so surprised, okay?"

"Huh? You don't know? You didn't receive any inside information? Didn't your Lu Li tell you?"

Zhou Yan handed the phone to Liu Qin, "See for yourself! Lu Li Jade Carving Exhibition, an auction, sold 3.45 billion!"

"Oh!"

Liu Qin glanced at the phone screen and nodded calmly, "With Lu Li's skills, it's normal for his works to fetch high prices? You shouldn't be surprised, right?"

"Hey hey hey! You got the point wrong!"

Zhou Yan's face was dull, "I mean, 3.4 billion! Apart from the cost and taxes, your Lu Li is already a billionaire! You won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life!"

"I wasn't worried at all!"

Liu Qin smiled and shook his head, "Lu Li didn't tell me the news. It means he doesn't care about it, and I don't care either. Lu Li's achievements are not measured by money."

"You... arrogant!"

Zhou Yan was speechless for a while. not give a damn about? You already have money, so you don't care!

3.4 billion! I have 3.4 billion, and I will say that I don't care about money!

...

In fact, 3.4 billion looks scary, but the real profit is not so scary.

Luxury goods transaction tax, value-added tax, personal income tax, after removing these taxes and operating costs, it can earn about one billion yuan, which is already a big profit.

President Jiang is very satisfied with this, and has regarded Lu Li as a "cash cow".

Before, Mr. Jiang wanted to enter the jewelry and jade industry, but his ambitious plan was hindered by the lack of suitable jade carving craftsmen. Now, with the appearance of Lu Li, President Jiang has made up for the last shortcoming.

"Little Junior Brother, from now on, you will be the top figure in the jade carving industry!"

At the celebration banquet, President Jiang held up the cup and toasted Lu Li with a glass of wine.

"Senior brother has won the prize!"

Lu Li smiled, "It can only be regarded as a small step!"

"Haha! A small step of 3.4 billion, if you say this, you will be beaten!"

President Jiang laughed.

The people around also laughed in unison. I just think... Master Lu is really humorous!

In fact, the impact of 3.4 billion is greater than that of Bian He Award.

The official media did not hype it too much, but the online media hyped it up.

The total transaction volume is 3.4 billion, and the highest single auction price is 400 million.

This makes Lu Li the top of the pyramid in the domestic art world, and belongs to a small group of people with the highest "gold content".

However, jade carving still has its particularity.

The value of jade itself is very expensive. A single piece of jade carving can be sold for 400 million yuan, but it does not mean that a painting of Lu Li can also be sold for 400 million yuan.

In the foreign art world, if an oil painting sells for hundreds of millions of dollars, that is... terrifying.

In any case, after this Bian He Cup Jade Carving Competition and this 3.4 billion auction, Lu Li has become famous all over the world, completely establishing his status in the arena.

The fruitful auction has ended, and Lu Li and his party are also ready to return to the capital.

"Master Lu, someone is looking for you."

After the celebration banquet, Lu Li had just returned to the room when Manager Wu suddenly ran over with a very strange expression on his face.

"Who is looking for me?"

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, the entertainment had already ended, why is there still someone looking for him at this time?

"A beauty!"

Manager Wu winked again, "The beauty who took the picture of the Jiulong glazed jade bi, Shen Menglin from Bay Province, is waiting for you in the cafe downstairs."

Shen Menglin? That hooligan?

The corner of Lu Li's mouth twitched slightly. I came here in the middle of the night, could it be... ahem, I'm not a showman!

"Ms. Shen Menglin said that there are several hundred million business to discuss with you!"

Manager Wu added another sentence.

Several billion business? This is... a bit of a tiger and wolf!

Lu Li smiled and shook his head, "Okay, I'll go see her."

If it was a normal business, Lu Li would still be interested to talk.

Getting up and going out, Lu Li walked down the stairs and came to the cafe on the second floor.

In the cafe, Lu Li met Shen Menglin.

At this moment, Shen Menglin is no longer the image of a "female hooligan". She is dressed in a delicate long dress, elegant and luxurious, and has the temperament of a lady.

"Miss Shen, hello."

Lu Li walked up and greeted Shen Menglin.

"Master Lu, hello."

Shen Menglin got up quickly, "Master Lu, I take the liberty to invite me, please forgive me."

"It's okay!"

Lu Li smiled and sat down on the seat opposite Shen Menglin, "I don't know if Miss Shen invited me, what advice would you give me?"

"Master Lu, I'll cut to the chase!"

Shen Menglin did not continue the chat, but went straight to the topic, "Master Lu, let me introduce myself. I am the chairman of Nanyang Xiangfenglou Jewelry and Jade Co., Ltd. I invited you to come here this time to talk about cooperation with you. ."

"Cooperation? This...may be a little sorry."

Lu Li smiled, "I have signed a contract with Huaxia Arts and Crafts Company. Before the contract ends, I may not be able to cooperate with Miss Shen."

"Master Lu, you misunderstood."

Shen Menglin quickly explained, "I know that you have a contract with Huaxia Arts and Crafts Company. I came to you this time to ask you to help me make a jade sculpture."

"Oh?"

Lu Li raised his brows, "I don't know what kind of jade carving? Miss Shen actually found me here? This surprised me."

Nanyang Xiangfeng Tower is not well known in China. However, in the Nanyang area, it is the top jewelry giant.

Such a large enterprise naturally cannot lack jade carving craftsmen. It was a bit strange that Shen Menglin found Lu Li here.

"this……"

Shen Menglin showed a bitter smile, "Xiangfeng Building is a family business. I just took over Xiangfeng Building, and there are still some things that are not straightened out."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Li immediately understood.

I'm afraid this is another drama of a family fight and a house fight. The family members compete for the inheritance of the family property, just like the ancient princes compete for the throne, it is really unscrupulous.

Shen Menglin had just taken over Xiangfenglou, so the so-called "not straightening out" was naturally someone making a stumbling block.

"I wonder what kind of jade sculpture Miss Shen wants me to make?"

Lu Li doesn't care about any family fights, but business is business, and it's natural to do it if you can make money.

"Not long ago, Xiangfenglou took over the business of the Siamese royal family and wanted to build a jade Buddha for the Siamese royal family. The company's jade carving craftsman was sick and hospitalized and could not make jade carvings."

Having said that, Shen Menglin looked up at Lu Li with a pleading expression on her face, "So... I want to ask Master Lu to help me with this. As long as you help me complete this jade carving, I can pay you ten million for the labor fee. , and enjoy a fifty percent share of the profits from this work.”

"Is that so?"

Lu Li pondered for a while. The 10 million labor fee is nothing, but the 50% profit share is very scary. That's a lot of money.

In addition, taking over this business also seems to be a good opportunity for Lu Li's reputation to move from home to abroad.

Thinking of this, Lu Li nodded, "Do you have any relevant information?"

"certainly!"

Shen Menglin's face was full of joy, and she quickly took out a folder from her satchel and handed it to Lu Li.

Lu Li reached out and took the folder, opened it, and the contents inside made Lu Li a little moved.

Waiting for the Jade Buddha?

A giant jade that reaches two meters three?

Such a large piece of jade material is simply amazing.

Lu Xin sighed inwardly, the Siamese royal family... how rich!

After seeing the photo of this giant jade material, Lu Xin had only one thought, and that is... I really want to cut this piece of material.

This feeling is like a classmate who sees a problem and can't help itching.

The Siamese royal family bid $500 million to order a life-size jade Buddha statue from Xiangfenglou.

500 million US dollars, according to the current exchange rate, at least 3 billion yuan or more. Sure enough, it's a multi-billion business.

"Okay! This job... I'll take it!"

Lu Li smiled at Shen Menglin and took over the task of jade carving.

Money is not important, the key is that such a big piece of jade really wants to cut it! I've never cut such a big piece before!

"You agree? Great!"

Hearing Lu Li's answer, Shen Menglin was full of joy, "Thank you! Thank you Master Lu. You have helped me a lot."

The cooperation intention has been reached.

After Lu Li and Shen Menglin negotiated, just after returning to the dormitory, Manager Wu ran over.

"Master Lu, you received a $500 million project from Shen Menglin?"

Manager Wu's face was full of admiration, "A master is a master. It's too awesome to have such a big project come to you casually."

"It's nothing to do with money."

Lu Li smiled, "The key is that the material is good, I really want to cut it."

Has nothing to do with money? That's because...you're already rich!

Manager Wu's face is full of depression, you are full but don't know if you are hungry!

"You... arrogant!"

Except for this sentence, Manager Wu didn't know what to say.

"Tomorrow I will go directly to Nanyang from Yunnan Province."

Lu Li said to Manager Wu, "When I come back, I will go to the company to make jade carvings for you."

"No problem! No problem!"

Manager Wu nodded again and again, "Your contract with the company only requires you to provide one piece of jade carving each month, and you can finish it whenever you want."

The contract between Lu Li and Huaxia Arts and Crafts Co., Ltd. is also a cooperative nature. It does not belong to the employees of Huaxia Arts and Crafts Company. The company does not control Lu Li.

...

"You said, Lu Li signed a $500 million cooperation project with Nanyang Xiangfenglou?"

President Jiang heard the news from Manager Wu's mouth, and stayed for a while without making a sound for a long time.

My little junior brother, really soared into the sky! This time, they all flew to Nanyang.

A $500 million project! Just came to the door.

In the art industry, after becoming famous and starting a family, it is really sought after by countless people!

Back then, if I didn't take the administrative line and kept sticking to art, wouldn't I be able to think that my junior brother was so beautiful?

President Jiang sighed.

Lu Li, the future is limitless!
