Material selection

Ai Ziqing's 'Chinese' instant messaging tool, adapted from ICQ, has basically taken shape with the efforts of the recruited college student team. She has started to buy servers for operation and organized personnel to recommend it to various companies and schools...

She selected several outstanding personnel from the earliest batch, Gao Feng, Yu Liang, Ren Ying, and Mo Yu as the senior executives of the newly established Sunny Network Company, responsible for technical planning and promotion. She also appointed Ren Ying, who returned from studying abroad, has the best technology and outstanding ability, as the company's chief executive officer [i.e. CEO] and also the external president. Because the company has no other shareholders, the board of directors has only a few company executives, and the power is concentrated in the hands of the chairman, so the executive officer is exempted from the charter of being responsible to the board of directors and is directly responsible to the chairman.

After that, Ai Ziqing was idle again, waiting for the arrival of the new semester in two days. Now Ai Ziqing has initially established Yushixuan, Sunny Network Company, which mainly operates 'Chinese Chat Tools', and Qingtian Security Company.

Of these three companies, Yushixuan has just started business and has made initial profits. The other two companies have been investing continuously so far, especially Sunny Network Company. The "Chinese language" is still being promoted. It will take at least one or two years of free promotion to have stable customers and launch a series of profitable service functions. Before that, a lot of money is needed to maintain it. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is burning money! Fortunately, Ziqing started earlier and should be able to occupy the market earlier and avoid the language mistakes made by ICQ when it was promoted all over the world in the future.

The transformation of the Black Tiger Gang has caused a lot of turmoil in the underworld of Yang City. No one expected that the Black Tiger Gang in Xicheng District would actually change to the Qingtian Security Company and establish the club "Qing". People with a keen sense of smell know that the Qingtian Security Company is just a cover, so not many people take it to heart. What is important is the club "Qing" reorganized by the Black Tiger Gang! I think this is the theme of the underworld in Yang City in the future.

But what does this "Qing" mean? Why did the Black Tiger Gang reorganize and name it Qing? What will this Qing Society look like in the future? No one has figured out these questions...

=====================================

Ai Ziqing, who had nothing to do, received a call from Lao Sun on Panshan Road in Yang City in the evening before school started. He said that a new batch of jade would arrive tonight and asked Ai Ziqing if she wanted to come and select it.

Ziqing was of course delighted and promised to be there on time at 8 o'clock in the evening. Because the car was lent to Zhou Yuan and others for temporary use, Ai Ziqing called Zhou Yuan to deliver the car. Considering that he had not yet been exposed to this circle, he asked him to notify Heizi and Wang Wu to come together in the evening. Ma Yuxi went to T City to attend a jewelry festival two days ago because of the company's relationship and has not returned yet.

When Ai Ziqing, Zhou Yuan and others drove to Panshan Road, several luxury cars had already parked in front of Lao Sun's shop. It seemed that they were indeed new goods. Zhou Yuan and the other two also pushed down the brims of their hats, put on sunglasses, and followed Ziqing into the store. Although they had no intersection with these jewelry owners, they were well-known figures in the underworld of Yang City after all. In addition, now that the first security company in Yang City has been established, the chances of dealing with these upper-class figures in Yang City and being exposed in the future will inevitably increase. If she openly went to some occasions with Ai Ziqing and was remembered by someone with ulterior motives, it would be detrimental to Ai Ziqing's current development direction. At least now she didn't want to be exposed so early.

"Boss Sun, I'm not too late, am I?" Ai Ziqing entered the store, walking towards Sun Fu while observing the people coming into the store.

"How could that be? Miss Ai came early. Today, all the goods brought to me, Old Sun, are good goods. Many people have heard the news and come here. Miss Ziqing, you should act first, right? Hahaha!"

"Of course, I just don't know the price today?" Ziqing said with a smile. Thinking: This black-hearted Fatty Sun said it's good goods, so the price is probably not low!

"Ah, haha, the price here is always fair, Miss Ai must know it, but... In order to get this batch of good materials for you today, Old Sun has spent a lot of money! That batch of small stones costs this amount." Fatty Sun turned his back to everyone and quietly pointed a finger at Ziqing.

One thousand each? "Isn't Boss Sun too black? I remember it was only four or five hundred yuan before?" Ziqing squinted and said softly.

"Not expensive, not expensive! These rough materials are all well-known old pits, and the chance of producing green is very high. I, Old Sun, want to keep them myself. The remaining ones are 1,500 yuan per kilogram. There are also some top-quality large pieces of rough materials that are priced individually. What do you think, Miss Ai..."

"Well, it's really difficult for Boss Sun. You go and greet others. I'll take a look myself." Ziqing nodded.

"Who are these people?" Fatty Sun glanced at Zhou Yuan and the other two. "My friends." Ziqing didn't want to say more. He nodded and took Zhou Yuan and the other two to the rough materials.

Zhou Yuan, Heizi and Wang Wu had heard Ai Ziqing's general explanation of the meaning and rules of gambling on stones on the way. They thought it was quite strange, but when they saw the large stones that looked similar, they began to have a headache. They simply stood near Ziqing and waited for her to choose the materials.

At this time, four more people came in. Ziqing looked up and saw that the person in the lead had a familiar laugh. Next to him was Wang Mingtang, and next to him was his assistant he brought last time. There were two young men behind him, one of whom was familiar to Ziqing.

"Uncle Wang, you are here to look at the goods so late?" Ai Ziqing greeted with a smile.

"Oh? Ziqing is here too! If I, an old guy, hadn't come earlier, all the good stuff would have been picked up by you!" Wang Mingtang said exaggeratedly, with a perfect expression, and then pulled a young man in his twenties beside him to introduce them, "Let's get to know each other. This is my son Wang Bin, and my nephew Wang Ming. Tonight, I have to come with me to see the gambling stone. This is Ai Ziqing, but she is a lucky star in gambling stone, haha!"

"I have heard of your name for a long time, Miss Ai." Wang Bin shook hands with Ai Ziqing politely.

"Master Wang, you still know me?" Ziqing said with a little surprise.

"My father often mentioned that Miss Ai has a lot of insights in gambling on stones at a young age, and she is young and promising!" Wang Bin said with a smile.

Ziqing looked up at Wang Mingtang, and it seemed that Wang Mingtang had always been a little suspicious of her. He said calmly, "No way, I'm just lucky, and I can't compare with Uncle Wang."

He nodded and greeted Wang Ming, who was standing there a little embarrassed, and turned to Wang Mingtang and smiled, "Uncle Wang, hurry up and choose the materials. Boss Sun is a black-hearted person today. If you are late, it will not only be expensive, but also not good materials!"

"Miss Ai is making fun of me again. My price is recognized as fair!" Fatty Sun complained with a bitter face. Seeing that Ai Ziqing had changed the subject, Wang Mingtang didn't want to talk much. He winked at Wang Bin, and everyone started to choose materials separately.

In fact, Wang Mingtang had no other intentions. He was just curious, so he wanted to test whether Yushixuan had any relationship with Ai Ziqing. Seeing that she easily changed the subject again and again, he knew better and stopped talking.
