Chapter 934
Eleanor continued her lesson for Mira. “Many top-tier pieces are things you stumble upon by chance. If you hold onto them, they appreciate rapidly. Accumulate enough, and they become a foundational asset.
And the deeper your foundation, the less likely your business is to capsize.
If a project hits a snag or you face a cash shortage, you can always liquidate these pieces or use them as collateral. Problems get solved just like that.
Let me tell you, the jewelry I collected back in the day helped the Quinn Group survive multiple crises p>
Mira nodded continuously.
She actually understood this principle perfectly well.
The reason she aggressively bought real estate and expanded her property portfolio wasn’t just for future appreciation. A crucial reason was to bolster her company’s safety net and resilience against crises.
Eleanor added, “You’re a major boss now. You need to keep an eye on everything, maintaining awareness of your surroundings.
Don’t just bury your head in your studies. As long as your grades are decent, that’s enough.
The most important thing for a boss is steering the direction. Leave the specific tasks to your subordinates p>
Without realizing it, Eleanor had delved straight into a lecture on corporate management. Rachel and the others followed quietly behind, listening intently without interrupting.
“Eleanor, didn’t you just say you preferred kids who study hard p>
Mira asked with a grin.
“Oh, context matters. Compared to kids who lack discipline and ignore their studies just to play, of course I prefer those who apply themselves.
But since you’re already so disciplined, naturally I have to advise you to relax a little and broaden your focus p>
“Eleanor is incredibly wise p>
Jillian chimed in, absolutely awestruck by this point.
“Of course. She was the eldest daughter of a major jewelry family and the former head of the Quinn Group p>
“Eleanor, would you consider taking me on as a god-granddaughter p>
Jillian half-joked.
“Anyone who can keep up with our Mira must be a good kid.
But this old woman already has enough grandchildren, so I don’t need any more p>
As they spoke, the group approached a display counter. “Bring out the piece I was looking at earlier p>
Eleanor instructed the saleswoman.
“You have an incredible eye, ma’am. The ‘Fluttering Luminescence’ is our plaza’s crown jewel. It’s valued in the eight figures p>
“Eleanor, this is a top-tier piece p>
“Who wants anything less than top-tier? Our Mira deserves only the finest jewelry.
Don’t worry about the cost. I’ll pay for it p>
“Eleanor, it’s not about the money. This is just too expensive. Is buying something this pricey really worth it p>
This was Mira’s first time looking at such extravagant jewelry, and she wasn’t quite used to it. She owned several seven-figure pieces, but sh had never bought anything in the eight figure range. The only ones she had were the few Eleanor had gifted her.
That amount of money could buy several houses outright. Mira found it hard to
justify the purchase.
Houses were easy to liquidate, but jewelry p>
Eleanor seemed to read her mind.
“Don’t worry, treasures like this are
highly fiquid, and as time passes,
they are guaranteed to appreciate
value.
If you ever run into trouble and need cash, but don’t want to sell, you can always
use it as collateral.
Didn’t I just explain this to you?
Besides, you should collect more
fine jewelry. That way, when I’m no
longer around, looking at these dazzling gems with remind your of me p>
“Okay, Eleanor, I’ll buy it. I agree to buy it, just stop talking like that! You’re not going anywhere. You’ll be with me forever p>
Her words nearly brought Mira to tears.
“Ma’am, Mira doesn’t need to look at jewelry to remember you. She’ll never forget you p>
Rachel hurriedly added.
“Even so, I still want to leave something tangible for the child p>
