Chapter 403

"Hello, Mr. Taylor." Sophia Shelley, the creative director of Tiffany, offered to extend her hand to Guo Tailai, and Guo Tailai reached out to shake Sophia's hand.

This is workplace etiquette. If a woman doesn't reach out, it's better for a man not to take the initiative to do so.

Sophia looks older than Chinese people of the same age, but her every move has a sense of fashion. Even a simple handshake makes people look elegant and comfortable. The clothes she wears are also very fashionable. Of course, she works for a high-end luxury brand like Tiffany and is also the creative director. If she doesn't have a thorough understanding of fashion and luxury, she must be incompetent.

Guo Tailai just spoke English. Although he is not proficient, at least his pronunciation is standard. Sophia also speaks English, of course.

"I'm sorry, my English is not very proficient, so I need Ms. Sophia to speak slowly." Guo Tailai apologized for his English first, and then clearly stated his request. He couldn't understand it too fast, so he had to slow down.

"Mr. Taylor, the diamond work you cut and inlaid is simply amazing." Of course, Sophia has no problem. She first praised Guo Tailai's double-heart diamond, and then asked curiously. One sentence: "May I know how to do it?"

"Sorry, commercial secret." Guo Tailai shook his head with a smile, and directly gave the other party a reason for commercial confidentiality.

"I'm sorry!" Sophia was not angry because Guo Tailai refused, but instead apologized for inquiring about the other party's business secrets.

This makes Guo Tailai very comfortable. Maybe this is some difference between developed and developing countries? At least when it comes to dealing with some intellectual property rights and commercial secrets, the other party still shows a lot of respect on the surface. Of course, it doesn't mean that developed countries will be better off, otherwise there would be no such profession as commercial espionage.

"We saw your work, Mr. Taylor, in the jewelry design competition. With all due respect, it is an impossible skill." Sophia still maintains the characteristics of a foreigner who is not polite and modest, and speaks very straightforwardly. Said what he meant: "I can verify, can you really make precision inlays on diamonds?"

Guo Tai looked at Chu Fei, and Chu Fei spread her hands beside her, expressing her powerlessness. No way, these guys have such virtues, just like those engineers of Mercedes-Benz and McLaren, if they don't show their skills, they will never believe that Guo Tailai can do that by hand. So Guo Tailai seems to be no stranger to this. If he has doubts and wants to ask for proof, then prove it!

Of course, the main reason was that Guo Tailai vaguely heard from some of Sophia's tone that she seemed to really want to cooperate with Guo Tailai.

"If I can prove it, can I ask you, what kind of cooperation will we reach?" Guo Tailai also sees people talking nonsense, since the other party is not afraid of offending people when he speaks so straightforwardly, Guo Tailai also follows the example and is very direct. asked.

"You know, there are many rich people in this world." Sophia really didn't mind, but introduced with a smile: "And a large part of the rich people like to use the things they use. The unique one. You know! No matter how big a diamond is, it is still an ordinary cutting method. If there is a perfect cutting and setting method that can make those rich or important people have unique diamonds in the world..."

Guo Tailai immediately understood, what Sophia said was too clear, as long as Guo Tailai can prove that he has the perfect diamond cutting and setting method, then there will be a steady stream of orders. In this regard, Tiffany & Co. has countless customer resources.

"Ms. Sophia." Guo Tailai thought for a while, and felt that he should say some things first, so he said to Sophia sincerely: "I hope to be able to make some things clear, the price of my hands is not cheap. "

"How expensive can it be?" Sophia seemed to find it very interesting, and asked with a smile.

"It may be linked to the price of the finished product, and the processing fee shall be paid in proportion." Guo Tailai told Sophia the previous cooperation model with Chu Fei.

"Trust me, Mr. Taylor." Sophia's face didn't even change a bit: "Our clients are all real big shots, real rich people, and they are absolutely willing to let their diamonds worth 20 million dollars rise to 40 million. Dollars or more. Mr Taylor has absolutely nothing to worry about."

When it comes to "real", Sophia emphasizes it in two consecutive rereadings. In addition to showing Tiffany's strong customer resources, it also expresses complete acceptance of Guo Tailai's method of requesting processing fees.

This is easy to handle. Presumably those "real" big shots and "real" rich people can't just take a small diamond of a few carats to let Guo Tailai do this kind of processing, and they can earn some small money without using it. Worrying about lack of customer resources, Guo Tailai is quite satisfied.

"Well, how can I prove it? Ms. Sophia!" Guo Tailai asked with a smile, full of confidence.

Sophia was well prepared, and when she heard Guo Tailai's question, she smiled and took out a small ring box from her handbag, on which the Tiffany logo was very eye-catching. Opened, it was a diamond ring inlaid with a heart-shaped diamond. The diamond is not big, only three carats in size. Next to the diamond ring is a smaller ruby, also heart-shaped, exactly the same as that diamond ring.

The only difference is that there is a letter T on the ruby, which may mean the initials of Tiffany? Anyway, it is different from the letter T of Mr. T. It is estimated that this letter is also an anti-counterfeiting mark.

"Mr. Taylor, if you can perfectly inlay this ruby ​​into this diamond." Sophia said with a smile: "That proves that you can really do it. We can talk about the next cooperation."

"What if I can't do it?" Guo Tailai asked jokingly.

"Then you bought this diamond ring and this ruby, Mr. Taylor." Of course, Sophia also heard the joke in Guo Tailai's tone, and replied in a joking tone.

"Okay, wait for my good news." Guo Tailai stopped joking and said to Sophia seriously.

"I'm looking forward to it!" Sophia smiled and expressed her expectation, before turning her head to thank Chu Fei: "Phoenix, thank you for your introduction, thank you very much."

"You're welcome!" Chu Fei's English was much better than Guo Tailai's, and she smiled politely.

While responding to Sophia, Chu Fei turned her head slightly, winked at Guo Tailai from an angle Sophia couldn't see, with a smile on her face.
