Chapter 12 Gu Ming

Murong Xue transported the raw materials into her apartment. Looking at the card in her hand, she thought that she had such good luck. She had met the jewelry magnates in the future. In her previous life, she heard his name once. He was called Gu Ming. He got rich by stone gambling. The major media reported his story of getting rich. Gu Ming was very fortunate when he got rich in the beginning. Once, he cut the rarely seen green jade of glassy species and sold it for 30 million yuan. This green jade of glassy species was really scarce. Its value was comparatively higher than glassy species uncolored jade. While glassy species green jade was the best in the category of jades. Gu Ming was very lucky, so to speak. After several years of groping, Gu Ming became famous gradually in the field of stone gambling. He was loyal to friends. He was a merchant who was famous for his honesty. It seemed that he mistrusted his good friend once. His good friend betrayed him and escaped with the money. Therefore, his company was on the verge of bankruptcy. Later, he met a savior. From then on, his career rose. When she met him in the stone gambling factory, the expression of melancholy could be seen on his face. Combined with the stories that she had heard in her previous life, he should be on the verge of bankruptcy at this time. His savior hadn't appeared yet. Really, God was helping her. Immediately, she gave Gu Ming a call according to the telephone numbers on the card. She told him that she wanted to see him and talk with him in detail. Without much hesitation, Gu Ming said yes. They had agreed to see each other in Ming Restaurant. In a private room on the second floor of Ming Restaurant, Gu Ming took a seat opposite Murong Xue. He was tall and straight. He was 175 centimeters tall. He was about 35 years old. He looked like an honest and reliable person. It was true actually. Although Gu Ming felt depressed in his mind, he smiled a little when he saw Murong Xue. "Miss Murong, what do you want to talk with me?" "Hello, Mr. Gu. To be honest, I am very interested in jade. I don't know whether you are interested in cooperating with me?!" Murong Xue said smilingly. Gu Ming heard that Murong Xue's tone was so honest. Although she looked very young, she spoke genteelly and decently. This girl must be an ambitious person. He didn't have other interactions with her except that he made a deal with her on that raw material before. What was more, he was not a famous person. So he thought it was a little strange. "Miss Murong, you must be joking. Now I am unable even to fend for myself for some special reasons now. I am afraid that I can't do you a favor." He was on the verge of bankruptcy. His company was in debt now. He only had 3 million yuan in his hands. He summoned up the courage to spend 2 million yuan in stone gambling. If he could find the first-class jade, then his company would come back to life. What a pity! The imperial green which was from the raw material that he selected didn't belong to him finally. Although he felt sad, he didn't blame others. Some people were just not lucky enough. He could not change the fact. Murong Xue was satisfied with Gu Ming's honesty. He didn't form an alliance with her without telling her the fact that his company was in debt. On the contrary, he chose to tell her the truth. Judging from this, he was a reliable person. No wonder he could become a jewelry magnate in the previous life. And the media didn't make any bad comments on him. "Mr. Gu, I know that your company has some troubles in capital turnover. But what I think highly of is your capability, and most of all, your personality. You also know that I am not short of money. I don't think your company's situation is a big problem. I am going to establish a world-class stone industry. I need you and invite you to be a member of our company." This time, Gu Ming wanted to laugh. If a 19-year-old little girl told you that she was going to establish a world-class business, wasn't it so unreal? Anybody would think it was so absurd. What was more, he knew the cruelty of the competition in business after he had groped in business himself these years. But, before Gu Ming laughed, he stopped because he saw that Murong Xue was so persistent, confident, and aggressive. She was serious! Later, he thought about her status as the daughter of the Murong Family and the one billion yuan that she received in the raw material field before. This could be possible. At least, the money was enough for the early investment. But money wasn't enough in establishing a stone career. Good stones were needed. "Miss Murong, you mean, you want to acquire my company and recruit me?" "Of course not. People like Mr. Gu were scarce. I was reluctant to let you be a common staff. What I mean is I will give you 20 percent of the shares after I establish my company. You are in charge of the management of the company, and I am in charge of capital and the source of the stones. So, what do you think?" "Will you give me 20 percent of the shares?!" Gu Ming thought it was a little unbelievable. "What? Do you think the shares aren't enough?" Murong Xue raised her eyebrows. "No, no. How could I think the shares aren't enough? I just don't know why Miss Murong chose me?" She had lived her previous life. Of course, she knew it by cheating. He could also become a jewelry magnate even without her. But she could not tell him this. "Because I trust my own eyes. I also trust Mr. Gu in the same way." Gu Ming felt deeply touched in his mind. Nobody had trusted him so unconditionally. For her trust, he fought! After all, he was on the verge of bankruptcy. He could restart at worst. Now, he didn't know how he would appreciate his decision at this moment many years later when he followed her to stand on the top of the world. "OK. I agree. For Miss Murong's trust, I will manage the company well." "Pleasant cooperation. You can manage your company independently, or incorporate it into our new company. It all depends on you. If you want to manage it independently, I can provide capital for you to get through the difficult situation. It's your job in the future. You also know that I am still a high school student, so I don't have enough time to manage the company. So all the things in the company, big or small, rely on you to deal with. Of course, you can contact me at any time when you are hesitant in making a decision. Besides, I want to be a boss behind the scenes. Do not tell others who I am." "I think it is better to incorporate my company into yours. It will be a little laborious if I manage two companies on my own. Have you decided how to name the company?" Actually, Murong Xue also wanted him to join the company. But she wouldn't force him to do so. It would be better if he put forward to incorporating his company into hers himself. "It's better this way. The name of the company can be Rise. It means that our company will reach the top of the world. While the subordinate jade industry is called Baoyu Pavilion. You go to deal with the specific details. I will transfer 300 million yuan into your bank account as the initial capital. Contact me at any time in the future." "Ok. Then I go to manage the basic things first. But, what about the source of jade? The new company needs some first-class jade as the most precious collections of the company." What Gu Ming worried about most was the problem of jade. "You don't need to worry about the jade. You go to register the company first. I will prepare the jade several days later." She also had a raw material which she bought. It hadn't been cut yet. It was also first-class jade. It was enough to be the most precious collection in her company. What was more, she had the perspective function. So jade was not to worry for her. After convincing Gu Ming, Murong Xue felt relieved a little. At least, the company was started. Her career finally began. But it was far from enough. In the previous life, Xiao Keli knew a man who had a mysterious background. She had been dead before she figured it out. But a few traces that she found out shocked her enough. Now she wasn't powerful enough to compete with him. She needed to step up.
