Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Why Are You Here Again?

Jiang Cheng quickly headed towards the furniture factory’s booth.

By this time, the crowd had gradually dispersed.

The venue was slowly being filled by foreign guests, sellers, translators, and on-site staff.

When Jiang Cheng arrived at the furniture factory, there happened to be a foreign guest looking around.

The translator for the foreign guest was none other than Du Bin, the male translator who had a grudge against Jiang Cheng.

"Mr. Benjamin, this is a traditional Chinese shelf, priced at two hundred seventy yuan."

The foreign businessman Benjamin nodded slightly, touched the shelf, and asked, "What is this material? Why is it called a ’traditional Chinese shelf’?"

Du Bin instinctively wanted to respond, but realizing he didn’t have an answer, he could only look to the furniture factory staff.

The factory manager offered a simple answer, which Du Bin translated faithfully.

"The material is pine, and ’traditional Chinese’ means knowledge of ancient and modern things."

That was the end of it.

Initially interested, Benjamin suddenly lost interest.

Benjamin nodded politely, turned slightly, and was about to leave.

"The ’traditional Chinese shelf’ originated in the Song Dynasty, initially called ’架格’..."

A clear female voice rang out behind them, and Benjamin turned around, his lost interest seemingly revived.

Seeing Jiang Cheng interrupting, Du Bin instinctively frowned. Fortunately, he remembered the foreign guests were present, and causing a scene would be embarrassing for Hua Xia.

However... once the foreign guests were gone...

Jiang Cheng saw through the emotions in Du Bin’s eyes clearly.

Not bad, although his brain isn’t great, it’s still occasionally useful.

Jiang Cheng walked up next to Mr. Benjamin, extended her hand, and said, "Hello, I am Jiang Cheng, a translator and colleague of Du Bin. I happen to know some stories about the furniture, please forgive my interruption."

Benjamin shook hands politely and said, "I quite enjoy such stories, could you tell me more?"

"Of course, it’s my pleasure."

Jiang Cheng released the handshake with Benjamin and immediately looked at Du Bin, saying, "I’ll stay and help."

Du Bin managed a smile and said, "Sure."

Jiang Cheng turned to Mr. Benjamin and began to introduce the traditional Chinese shelf.

"The traditional Chinese shelf in our Hua Xia history can be traced back almost a thousand years, originally found only in the homes of the powerful to store official documents..."

"Later, it became popular among the wealthy, used to display antiques, rare decorations, and other valuable items."

Jiang Cheng spoke eloquently, with a central idea: the traditional Chinese shelf is a fine thing, fit only for those with wealth and power.

Benjamin’s smile broadened; this was exactly what he desired.

He was a furniture businessman who came to Hua Xia to purchase some of its distinctive furniture.

There was a group of wealthy businessmen and leaders abroad obsessed with Hua Xia’s history and culture.

Items sold to them had to have a good backstory.

Only with such a narrative would they feel worthy of the items.

"Thank you, Jiang, I really like this traditional Chinese shelf and wish to place an order."

"Of course, but may I ask which price range of traditional Chinese shelf you are interested in?"

Benjamin was slightly confused.

"There are different price ranges?"

Jiang Cheng gave an apologetic smile and said, "It’s my mistake, I didn’t explain clearly."

"Mr. Benjamin, because of different wood types, levels of polishing, and the intricacy of carvings, there are different price levels."

"I assume, during sales, you’re definitely not selling to just one client."

Benjamin nodded in understanding and asked, "What you say makes sense, could you introduce the others as well?"
