Chapter 0659 – Employment (I)

Due to the auction house’s change to the starting price, the auction process became calmer, without the fiery bidding, after each item of the collection was quoted the reserve price, the crowd had to measure the value of the object before deciding whether or not they would bid.

However, this dependence, the auction process is much faster, basically every object is in the first call for the price, then sold. And some of the reserve price is too high antiques, if no one in the reserve price to raise the price, then the auction off, more than thirty pieces of antiques from China, in the afternoon at about five o’clock in the afternoon on all the auction ended.

Adhering to their own rules, Zhuang Rui did not bid again, but is Huangfu Yun with two hundred and seventy thousand euros to auction a Qing Dynasty Longquan sword, which is almost empty Huangfu Yun’s family background.

Before leaving the auction house, Zhuang Rui and Ms. Zhang and Mr. Liu and other people have exchanged contact information. The many collectors who came from China were all very favorable to Zhuang Rui.

Especially that Mr. Zhao who had auctioned that piece of porcelain cheaply, he was naturally grateful to Zhuang Rui for proposing this solution, and even spoke up to invite Zhuang Rui to visit his private collection after he returned to China.

“Brother Huangfu, I’m going to London tonight, will you continue to stay here, or go back to the United States?”

After returning to the hotel, Zhuang Rui looked at Huangfu Yun who was lovingly playing with the Dragon Spring Sword in his hand and asked.

Huangfu Yun carefully wiped the sword with a white cloth, then sheathed the sword, raised his head and said, “I’m almost penniless, what’s the point of staying here?”

“I’m going back to my country tomorrow, packing up all the swords and knives collected at my home in the US and bringing them back to my country, that museum of yours is going to have to leave a good showroom for me!”

Their own strength is not enough to start a museum, can borrow Zhuang Rui’s place, to complete their long-cherished wish, Huangfu Yun still attaches great importance to this matter, although the name can not become a sword museum, but can let their own collection show in front of the world, Huangfu Yun has been very satisfied.

“Good, it’s that you’re not willing, I’m going to pull you hard.” Zhuang Rui smiled back, if there was no Huangfu Yun’s hundreds of swords and knives, just by his own dozens of antiques, want to open a private museum? Purely a joke, not to mention the museum opened up nothing to exhibit, that is, before the declaration and then have relations may not see can pass.

Zhuang Rui has considered, the name of the museum whether to change the Chinese customized sword museum, after all, after the opening of the main collection inside is certainly Huangfu cloud of the batch of swords.

But such a name in the beginning although it can highlight the theme, but for the future to enrich the type of collection will be a little inappropriate, Zhuang Rui again and again after thinking about it or to dispel this idea.

“By the way, brother Huangfu, what is your future career development plan?”

Zhuang Rui poured a cup of coffee for Huangfu Yun and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.

“Career planning?”

Huangfu Yun was a bit confused by Zhuang Rui’s irrelevant question, and froze for a moment before replying, “I’m a contracted lawyer for a famous law firm in New York! However, three or five lawsuits per year is enough for me to eat for a few years, and now I just want to collect some of the cold weapons of various countries in the world that are lost in the private sector, and later on, or I will sell to support the collection and specialize in this industry is not allowed to say.”

Huangfu cloud where the law firm, in the United States are extremely famous, the case are non-rich or noble, or else is a commercial case between large companies, a lawsuit down, lawyers can earn a pot full of money, or Huangfu cloud where to come to the money, all over the world to collect antique swords and knives ah!

Zhuang Rui asked with a smile, “Then why don’t you consider specializing in collecting now?”

“Now? Older brother, I don’t have as much wealth as you do after buying this sword, I’ve almost become a pauper, if I don’t go back to make money, I’ll drink the northwest wind to live ah?”

Huangfu Yun glared at Zhuang Rui in a bad mood, and after brushing the sword in his hand with the sheath, he couldn’t help but pluck it out and play with it again, it seems that he is really obsessed with this kind of object.

“Brother Huangfu I have a conception, I wonder if you can accept it?” Zhuang Rui pondered for a moment and spoke.

“What does your conception have to do with me? Well …… then say it!” Huangfu Yun replied casually, his attention still focused on the Dragon Spring Sword in his hand.

“It’s like this, I’ve invested in quite a few industries now, but I haven’t been able to hire a lawyer to take care of them, and I’m a little bit confused about the profits that I’ve earned, I was thinking that you, the great god, could you condescend and come work for me?”

With the increase of Zhuang Rui’s investment industry, he feels that he needs manpower to help himself to share some things, including the subsequent negotiation and signing of agreement with Jimi Museum, all rely on himself to handle, he is really a little bit distracted.

Zhuang Rui has always adhered to a belief that professional things need professionals to handle. So whether it is the jadeite mine, jade mine or auto body shop and other industries, Zhuang Rui did not carelessly reach out to manage, but these things are also the need for a person to help themselves to summarize, and Huangfu cloud is the most suitable person.

Huangfu Yun originally did not care much about Zhuang Rui’s words, after hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, could not help but froze for a moment, finally moved his eyes away from the Longquan Sword, looked at Zhuang Rui and asked: “Older brother, what you say is true? My value is not low!”

In the United States, the top well-known barristers are often partners in law firms, and if their annual income is converted into RMB, many of them are above fifty million dollars.

Huangfu Yun is still not at that level, but his annual income is also around three to four million RMB, which translates into five to six hundred thousand dollars in U.S. dollars. This kind of income in the country, is considered very high.

Zhuang Rui smiled and said, “Brother Huangfu, then tell us your worth.”

“Shit, are you kid serious?”

Huangfu Yun inserted his Longquan Treasure Sword into his sheath and said with a straight face, “I’m busy for six or seven months a year, so I can probably earn around three million RMB. If you want to hire me as a full-time private lawyer to handle your business, including daily affairs, I can consider five million per year.”

“Five million?”

Zhuang Rui was shocked by Huangfu’s brother’s opening price, it seemed that Qin Ruilin’s Manager Wu was only two to three million RMB a year, but he was able to help create tens of millions of dollars in profit a year! Compared to Manager Wu, the value that Huangfu Yun could create didn’t seem to be that great.

“What’s wrong old brother? Scared?”

When Brother Huangfu saw Zhuang Rui’s look, he couldn’t help but smile, “I obtained a double bachelor’s degree in law and MBA in the US, and I know quite a bit about the financial market, so I can integrate your business, formulate investment intentions, and avoid investment risks in the future, which will be of much greater use. Five million yuan a year, that’s for the sake of our friends, if the domestic company asked me to do full-time legal counselor, I have to at least open a price of eight million to.”

Huangfu Yun said this is not bad, he is now in the legal profession, is also considered a small reputation, the general company to ask him to fight the lawsuit is to be booked in advance, and is also worth a lot of money.

Now a lot of multinational companies invited by the legal adviser, its cost is indeed ridiculously high, also can indeed help the company to avoid a lot of risk, but can not help Zhuang Rui even self-employed are not counted, spend so much money to invite Huangfu Yun, the heart is to measure.

“Five million ……”

Zhuang Rui was a bit indecisive, pondering in his heart, but when he looked up, he saw Qin Xuan Bing nodding slightly, meaning for him to agree down.

“Five million is five million, however, I have one more request.” Zhuang Rui finally nodded his head and agreed, but it was Huangfu Yun who was taken aback, he actually had the intention of pushing back when he proposed this price. But unexpectedly, Zhuang Rui actually agreed.

Just now said some big companies to hire lawyers cost is extremely high, but that is generally and law firms between the cooperation, Huangfu Yun in foreign small famous, but back at home, do not necessarily enjoy the treatment of the top lawyers.

“What is the requirement?” Huangfu Yun asked in a deep voice, and his face became serious.

If Zhuang Rui is really willing to pay out this amount of money, Huangfu Yun is also willing to return to China to develop, now China’s economy is rapidly changing, and there are relatively more opportunities.

Zhuang Rui smiled and said, “It’s very simple, in addition to helping me deal with some business matters, brother Huangfu you also have to concurrently serve as the executive deputy director of my museum, presiding over the day-to-day work of the museum and foreign museums to approach, and often to engage in some exchanges of exhibitions of activities.”

Zhuang Rui this time is very hasty to do private museum, the main reason is to exchange collections with the Museum of Jimei, his own heart, in fact, did not do a good job to manage the museum’s mental preparation, so in the mind of Huangfu Yun, simply is the use of its talent, this mess thrown to the Huangfu Yun never mind.

“Let me be the executive deputy director of the museum?!”

After Huangfu Yun heard Zhuang Rui’s words, the expression on his face was a bit strange, it was hard to tell if he was happy or disappointed.

“Yes, I may not have that much time to take care of the museum in the last two years, so I need to trouble you.”

Zhuang Rui nodded, he is going to study Professor Yu’s graduate school next year, I’m afraid that his main focus will be on his studies, no matter if it’s the museum or the business in Myanmar and Xinjiang, I’m afraid that he doesn’t have much time to oversee it, and that’s the main reason why he is willing to spend a large amount of money to hire Huangfu Yun.

“Success, then I’ll take this job, tomorrow I’ll go back to the US and get rid of the house. By the way, old brother that museum sword showroom, but to give me to set up ah!”

To say that Huangfu Yun originally did not have the intention to go back to the country, now hear Zhuang Rui’s this request, immediately made a decision, and showed very excited.

“Not only is the sword showroom, all the others are also given to you, those who can do more work!”

Zhuang Rui smiled a bit like a little fox at this time. Huangfu Yun has been abroad for many years, basically as long as it is a little famous museum he has been there, handing over his own private museum to him to take care of, is definitely the best choice.

Of course, this curator’s position, Zhuang Rui is still unshirkable, even if it’s just an impractical titular curator.
