Chapter Fifteen: Starting a Company

  Things that can make money, who is not anxious?

  Li Dong received Li Zhe's phone call and immediately began to ponder.

  For antiques, Zhe Li was truly clueless. As for the hype tactics that Zhe Li imagined, experts would appraise, evaluate, hype, and praise them before proceeding with the auction operations. In the industry, there were already established routines and divisions of labor. Almost all antique dealers who had been in the business for a long time were familiar with these tactics. As soon as Zhe Li mentioned it, Dong Li understood what he meant.

  Li Zhe didn't say more on this matter, the more he said, the more he would lose face, and it would inevitably lead to Li Dong's greater suspicion, which would affect their future cooperation. In any industry, if your partner loses due respect and trust in you, then they can't blame others for using various tactics to deceive and cheat them, they can only blame themselves, who made them not understand.

  Fortunately, the shock that Li Zhe brought to Li Dong previously was still sufficient. The goods that Li Zhe had brought last time were sent overseas by Li Dong and immediately caused a considerable stir. For a long time, there hadn't been such a batch of exquisite goods appearing in the market, and the entire antique circle in Southeast Asia was also slightly surprised, making Li Dong's antique shop earn a lot of popularity and profit, and its reputation within the industry also rose significantly, which will be of great help to Li Dong's future business expansion. Also because of this, Li Zhe's position in Li Dong's heart has risen greatly.

  This time, it didn't take a few days for Li Zhe to suddenly pull off another one!

  Li Dong thought to himself.

  Isn't that so? The goods from the last batch of people behind Li Zhe hadn't been completely sold out, and some high-quality goods were left to watch over. Now it seems safer on Li Dong's side, so they want to play a big game this time?

  Thinking of this, Li Dong became excited!

  This inference is very likely. Although the thing Li Zhe gave last time was well preserved, its quality was not the best, and there were too many goods of the same quality, which doesn't make sense.

  The burial of such things, the number and quality of various grades of funeral objects are all talked about.

  The things Li Zhe sells are undoubtedly from the same era. However, if it's an ordinary family tomb, the quality of the burial objects is passable, but there are too many of them, not like they were unearthed from a single tomb at the same time. But if it's a tomb of a noble family with influence in the imperial court, or even a duke's tomb, then the number of burial objects is appropriate, but the grade of these goods is still not enough. In other words, if Li Zhe and others opened a tomb of a noble family, there must be some high-end burial objects that have not appeared yet.

  Listening to Li Zhe's tone, is there really something shocking?

  Li Dong became excited.

  For someone who has been in the antique business for decades, the excitement of developing and operating a top-notch, historically significant tomb is indescribable. In the industry, every word and action affects the emotions of millions of collectors and insiders, a feeling that is no less than reaching the pinnacle of success in officialdom! And this is exactly what Li Dong lacks right now.

  Li Dong suddenly had a premonition that Li Zhe was his benefactor. The kind of person who would change the course of his career, or even bring his entire life to new heights with just one encounter.

  It's been a long time since Li Dong had this kind of excitement, a youthful passion that once again surged in his heart with anticipation.

  ……

  He was stirred up by Li Zhe's phone call here, while Li Zhe was in a desperate situation on the other side.

  Li Zhe is still in Guangzhou and hasn't traveled anywhere. He has too many things to do and it's all too troublesome. Just the preparation work for two companies and a website has been keeping him extremely busy, he can't leave even if he wants to, every day he has to focus on solving problems.

  Sitting on a spacious sofa in the rented office, Li Zhe looked at the person opposite him, holding the resume of the person opposite.

  Liao Yun Kai, 37 years old, height 183 cm, weight 85 kg, from Yunnan Armed Police Force Special Investigation Team, skilled in hand-to-hand combat and various firearms, had been awarded multiple times for outstanding service during his time in the force, later resigned due to certain circumstances and came to Guangzhou to live, joined Tianhe Security Company, serving as a high-ranking executive until now.

  There's still a lot of content left, but for Li Zhe, it's all not that important anymore. What's important is that Liao Yun Kai's experience has already satisfied Li Zhe. Smuggling? Security? These experiences are simply tailor-made for Li Zhe's needs.

  Liao Yun Kai is the talent that Li Zhe dug up through a headhunting company at a high price, and Li Zhe's plan is to let him be in charge of the newly established security company.

  "Have you finished reading the materials I gave you?" Li Zhe asked Liao Yun Kai. After a period of training in the three countries, Li Zhe's body had already shown some subtle signs of superiority, and handling this level of interview was no longer difficult. Even his words had a tone that made people feel compelled to listen carefully.

  Liao Yun Kai is a lean man, with a thin face and a wide and powerful chin. His muscles are well-proportioned and strong, giving off an air of being ready to pounce at any moment. Just by looking at him, people can't help but feel satisfied.

  "I've finished reading! I now have an understanding of our company's main business, which is mainly to cooperate with our brother trading companies for security work. I don't have any problems with this aspect. However, I still have some doubts about the direction of our company's future development. According to the materials, will we mainly be engaging in foreign trade in the future?"

  Li Zhe nodded, "Uh-huh! Yes! The companies under my name have more connections abroad and will develop even faster in the future. So, security work abroad will increase. And as my part-time personal bodyguard, you'll be with me more often, so we'll spend more time abroad in the future."

  "Of course." Liao Yunkai hastily nodded, "As a bodyguard, of course I'll follow wherever the employer goes."

  "Haha! Actually, there's no need to be so restrained!" Li Zhe saw that Liao Yun Kai was a bit tense, so he spoke up to ease the atmosphere. "In fact, I'm looking for you mainly because of your rich experience, and in the future, I'll rely on you more in management. You know, as a security guard, the relationship between black and white is the most important thing. I think you won't let me down in this aspect, right?"

  Liao Yun-kai nodded hastily, after all, he was an old hand with decades of experience, and this little hint was self-explanatory.

  Li Zhe nodded slightly and continued, "As for being my personal bodyguard, it's mainly because there isn't a suitable candidate at the moment, so you'll have to figure out how to recruit one. I need some talent from martial arts schools, preferably those who understand ancient martial arts. Additionally, the company may also develop in the direction of hiring foreign mercenaries. All these will require you to be prepared in the future."

  Liao Yun Kai was secretly surprised, but he nodded repeatedly on the surface, "Thank you boss for your trust! I will definitely work hard and do a good job with the tasks assigned by the boss. Speaking of recruitment, I actually have some friends in the industry who are not very satisfied with their current situation, and they all have strong personal abilities, I don't know if the company can..."

  When he mentioned these words, he was also a little nervous. The most important thing for a company is the personnel power. As soon as he came in, he rashly arranged people and didn't know if he would leave a bad impression of usurping power on the young-looking general manager opposite him.

  Who would have thought that Li Zhe was completely unbothered, and with a wave of his hand said: "No problem, just do it your way, as long as you set up the company's stage, it will be considered a great achievement!"

  Ah! Liao Yukai's big mouth was shocked and couldn't be closed, this hairy kid CEO, isn't he so unreliable?!

  Relax, brothers! I've already received a signing notice and will be signing next week.

  Besides, tomorrow is Monday, brothers help me out, push me into the new book chart of WeChat public account, and ask for clicks and votes in advance for tomorrow.
