A set of successful jewelry design is no less difficult than a successful software design, which requires the designer to have instant inspiration and full control of the momentum.

Therefore, the income of these top designers is often very high. Liv represents Tiffany to take over Qin Shiou's job, regardless of the cost, and the design fee alone costs 280,000 US dollars!

Seeing the initial contract, Qin Shiou sighed and said, "No wonder some people say this is an entertainment activity for the rich. It seems like a luxury for ordinary people to design a set of jewelry in their entire lives."

Liv covered her mouth and smiled, "No wonder Mr. Black said you like to joke, Mr. Qin, if someone like you who owns black pearls and black gold centurion cards worth millions are ordinary people, then wouldn't we live in the slums?"

Qin Shiou smiled. It seemed that Xiao Black had told Tiffany about some of his financial information. This is normal. How could Tiffany's store manager and chief designer take time to accompany the customers, so how could he not have a good value?

"Can you be cheaper?" Qin Shiou joked.

Liv smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that Mr. Qin, there was a gentleman who asked the same question as you, and the answer we gave at that time was: When President Lincoln came to buy jewelry, we did not give any discounts. In order to be fair to the customers, we cannot give you discounts."

Billy whispered to Qin Shiou and said, "Tiffany looks down on you very much. Do you know who the 'a gentleman' mentioned by Liv' is? Dwight David Eisenhower!"

Tiffany did give Qin Shiou enough courtesy. The chief designer was sent to receive him, and the higher courtesy was the boss. Generally, only presidents, famous politicians, superstars and super rich people would enjoy such preferential treatment.

Not to mention Tiffany's pretense, they do have this style. As the top jewelry supplier in the United States, Tiffany can be regarded as the president-specific jewelry supplier of the United States.

Since 1861, President Lincoln spent $530 in Tiffany's store to buy a set of pearl jewelry for his wife Mary so that she can wear it at the swearing-in ceremony for the president's re-election. Since then, other U.S. presidents and foreign heads of state have followed suit. In the last President Obama's inauguration hall, the brooch his wife Michel brought from Tiffany.

Qin Shiou can enjoy this treatment. In fact, it is not only the role of the Black Gold Centurion Card, but he underestimated his status in the upper-class American circle. The Strauss family's dinner has already 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 was a routine reception designed to enhance customers' confidence in them.

After walking around this luxurious palace, Qin Shiou almost got blinded. What is gold? Platinum is the supporting role here, and the protagonists are those diamonds, gems, jade and various rare metals.

Qin Shiou just took a look at it. It was really boring for a man to visit this place. If it were a gun shop, he would play for a while. What does the jewelry shop mean to the big men?

After wandering around, he said goodbye. It would be better to talk nonsense with Billy.

Originally, according to Qin Shiou's plan, he did not stop in New York. He sent the Black Pearl to Tiffany and flew home directly.

But Billy enthusiastically kept him and had fun in Big Apple City. Qin Shiou thought that it was useless to stay in the town, so he stayed.

But he was not just playing. He first talked to Billy about the promotion of Van Gogh's paintings. Billy said that the promotion was very successful. Now the entire European collection industry is crazy. The Van Gogh Collection Museum in the Netherlands has sent people to contact them several times to take back the paintings.

Qin Shiou said: "If the Dutch are interested, then talk to them. You may not have to go to the auction. You can sell it if the price is right."

He didn't really care about money, and it would be a good story if Van Gogh's paintings returned to the museum specially built for him.

Billy smiled contemptuously and said, "Let them dream, those guys actually talked to me about dedication and sacrifice. I want us to donate the paintings to the museum for free. Do you think, can it work?"

"It's not okay when you dream!" Qin Shiou said firmly, "You sister, are you talking about dedication and sacrifice with me at this time? Why didn't you talk about it when you formed a group of Eight-Nation Alliance to brush our Kyoto copy?"

After talking about "The Sunset of Montmaros", Qin Shiou took out his cell phone and showed the string of red coral beads to Billy, asking if it was worth it.

Although Billy works as a diver, he is from a background. In addition, he studied at Columbia University, and his major is archaeology and art appreciation. He has no ability.

After watching only these photos, Billy said: "This should be a cultural relic of your Chinese. During the Qing Dynasty, the court beads worn by your first- and second-rank officials were made of red coral. However, this string should not be valuable. There is no information on the beads that can prove its owner's identity, so they cannot be sold at a high price."

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "That's fine, at worst I can leave it for decorations."

He was not interested in the Qing Dynasty cultural relics. As a young young man, he was not interested in everything in the Qing Dynasty.

After hearing Qin Shiou's words, Billy laughed a little, and he leaned over and said, "Although I said this thing is not worth it, it does not mean it cannot 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 raise the price of this thing?"

Billy said: "It's very simple, hype! Isn't there no information on the beads? We can just find a way to make it a little? Our family is good at this thing. Look at mine. This time I have to let you see my energy."

"How far can it be?"

"Now, this string of beads can be sold for at most 100,000 yuan, and I can make it sell for more than one million!"

"So powerful? You're going to go against the will of heaven."

"Disappointing the will of God? Is it against God? This is not good, but in order to make you recognize me, I will do it once."

Qin Shiou patted his shoulder and encouraged him: "Good boy, work hard, I'll be optimistic about you."

As he said this, Qin Shiou couldn't help laughing at first.

But Billy is not a joke. He really needs to show Qin Shiou his extraordinary things. Strictly speaking, the income of the painting "Sunset of Montmarou" has nothing to do with him. However, because of the cooperation agreement, he can still get the money, so if he wants to take the money with peace of mind, he has to let other partners realize the necessity of his existence.

His abilities are not only reflected in business, but also in food, drink, and fun.

When you come to New York, you must enjoy the first thing you want to enjoy is food. This international capital has more than 18,000 restaurants that are proud of, and the food flavors it has is that no city can compare to.

As we all know, New York is nicknamed "Big Apple City". What few people notice is that this city is also known as "Gourmet City".

At five o'clock in the evening, Billy took Qin Shiou to a tower-shaped building in Manhattan. He took an outdoor elevator to the roof and enjoyed dinner here.
