Xie Wan said that wind is rain.
Her mind was working at high speed.
The Hong Kong city in the 1970s was known as one of the Four Asian Tigers. Its economy was about to take off and it was full of business opportunities.
However, in the next twenty years, the pillar industry of Hong Kong City will be the real estate economy.
The four major families in Hong Kong also developed from middle-level businessmen to top wealthy families during the booming real estate economy.
If she wants to accumulate wealth quickly in Hong Kong, stock speculation alone is far from enough.
The land price in Hong Kong City is not very expensive now, and the four major families should be hoarding land at this time.
She also wants to buy land, while the land price is still low, and hoard a large amount of land, so that she can have a place in the economic development of the port city in the next 20 years.
In order to make more money as quickly as possible to help the man of her dreams, Xie Wan suddenly became arrogant.
Although she only had 1,650 Hong Kong dollars in public funds in her pocket, she had already begun to think about competing with the four major families in Hong Kong in the future.
"I need capital now." After Xie Wan's previous experience in Country M, she no longer went to pawn shops or gold shops to sell those antiques.
She asked many people in Central and found Christie's auction house.
Christie's Hong Kong was only established in 1973. At that time, it was still relatively small, but with the support of the reputation of its headquarters, it had already gained a certain fame among the wealthy circles in Hong Kong.
When Xie Wan stepped into the auction house, he saw a British man scolding a Chinese agent.
Although the two communicated in English, Xie Wan could fully understand the Englishman's words which were extremely insulting to the Chinese man.
"Are you a pig? You can't even do such a simple thing?
You yellow pigs are born to be cheap..."
Xie Wan frowned, walked up to the two of them and asked, "Did I walk into the pigpen? As soon as I came in, I heard a white pig farting!"
The foreigner understood the English she used and was about to get angry, but Xie Wan pointed at the Chinese agent and said, "I have something to sell, can you be my agent?"
Christie's is expanding its global business. Although this foreigner seemed to be domineering to his subordinates just now, he did not dare to offend customers easily.
The foreigner looked at Xie Wan and Xu Bing arrogantly and thought that they didn't look like rich people. He said to the Chinese man, "You go and deal with it."
After saying that, he glared at Xie Wan fiercely and left.
The Chinese man came forward to greet Xie Wan and Xu Bing and introduced himself: "Hello, Miss and Sir! This is my business card."
Xie Wan glanced at the name on the business card. The man's name was Chang Yongnian, and his position on the business card was trainee broker.
At this time in Hong Kong, the British already felt that they were superior to others, and that man was Chang Yongnian's boss, so he was naturally very domineering.
Chang Yongnian welcomed Xie Wan and Xu Bing into a small reception room.
"Miss, let me first introduce you to our Christie's business..."
Chang Yongnian looked to be about 30 years old. He introduced Christie's business in detail. After he finished speaking, he politely asked Xie Wan: "Miss, can I ask what items you want to auction?"
Xie Wan did not answer immediately. She first asked for a Christie's auction catalog from last year and read through it carefully.
Since the last auction of the pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets in Country M, she has gained some experience.
After Xie Wan finished reading the catalog, he asked Chang Yongnian, "Do you have any auctions recently?"
Chang Yongnian nodded. "We have an antique auction in three days. Miss, do you have any antiques that you want to auction?"
Chang Yongnian was not like the British man who looked down on Xie Wan just because of his ordinary clothes.
As a Chinese, Chang Yongnian knows that Chinese people prefer not to show off their wealth or show off their wealth.
He then went to get an introduction to the auction that would take place three days later and gave it to Xie Wan.
Xie Wan looked at the jewelry that was going to be auctioned and felt that the things in his space were far more valuable than those in the introduction.
Xie Wan said she wanted to go to the bathroom.
In the bathroom, Xie Wan locked the door and entered the space.
During the Spring Festival, she opened eight large boxes from the basement of Wang Hongguang's house.
There are books, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, antiques, gold, jade and jewelry in it.
Hong Kong is different from the mainland. Antique jewelry that is not valuable in the mainland is bought by many foreigners in Hong Kong. Local wealthy people will also collect some treasures to show off.
Xie Wangang saw in the auction brochure that a Qing Dynasty Yongzheng period pink enamel plate had a starting price of one million Hong Kong dollars.
Xie Wan remembered that there was a pastel plate in the space, which was more beautiful than the one in the brochure, but she had not taken a closer look to see whether it was made by the emperor.
Xie Wan opened the box that contained porcelain, carefully scraped away the cotton wool that was used to protect it, and found the yellow-ground enamel plate with flower and bird patterns.
I turned over the bottom of the plate and luckily found that it was also made by Emperor Yongzheng.
This is at least one million.
Xie Wan felt that the porcelain had great potential for appreciation, and she was reluctant to sell her other porcelain.
The most common thing in her space is jewelry.
Xie Wan packed a bag with clothes, not caring what the items were, and prepared to take them all to Chang Yongnian for an appraisal.
When she returned to the small reception room, Chang Yongnian didn't notice anything unusual, but Xu Bing's eyes stayed on her backpack for a few seconds.
Xu Bing clearly felt that his boss's backpack had become a little fatter.
But he didn't care.
Xie Wan winked at Xu Bing.
Xu Bing said sensibly that he would be guarding outside the door.
After closing the door, Xie Wan opened his backpack and looked around vigilantly. After making sure it was safe, he took out an object wrapped in clothes.
