The next day, when Chen Xia got up, he thought he was doomed and would definitely be scolded by his great-grandfather and aunt.
Anyway, in his previous life, whenever he got drunk, he would never dare to face Queen Mother Yin, and could only quietly return to the hospital dormitory to sleep. If he was caught, a few hits on the head would be the least of his worries.
Who knew that when he got up, he found his great-grandfather sitting in the living room reading a newspaper, and his aunt was preparing him something, not sure whether it was breakfast or lunch.
"Good morning, great grandfather, great aunt, great aunt, good morning, last night I..."
"It's okay, it's okay. Isn't it normal for young people to drink? What kind of man is he if he can't drink? Your mother is making porridge for you. Have a few bowls to warm your stomach."
Chen Defa looked at his eldest grandson with a smile and stood up to go to the kitchen to get porridge.
Chen Shuqin next to him was not happy. "Dad, you are too biased. When I was in school, you said you would break my legs if I dared to go to the bar."
Chen Defa glared at her. "How can it be the same? You were a girl back then. How can a girl drink alcohol? If people knew about it, it would be bad for your reputation. How could you get married? Uh, it seems like you didn't get married."
“Dad~~~~~~”
The old man saw that his little daughter was anxious and quickly ran into the kitchen. Chen Xia saw that the situation was not good and quickly hid in the bathroom.
At the dinner table.
While drinking porridge, Chen Xia said, "Aunt, I brought a huge piece of chicken blood stone this time. I'll put it in the Caiyunzhinan store, along with the jadeite rough stone, and we can hype it up."
"The Bloodstone King?"
Chen Defa and Chen Shuqin were both quite surprised. This was a good thing. Hong Kong was home to a large number of old-fashioned literati who were very fond of seals carved from bloodstone.
Chen Xia took out two cut seals from the room, both of which contained 90% Dahongpao blood.
Chen Defa was very surprised. He took it and looked at it carefully. "What a good thing! I haven't seen a bloodstone with such a high blood content in many years. Xiaoxia, where did you get it?"
Chen Xia casually said, "I went to Changhua on a business trip a few months ago and bought some. No one in the mainland is interested in these now, so I bought them thinking they would appreciate in value in the future."
Chen Shuqin slapped her forehead and said, "You've made me want to go to the mainland. Hetian jade, Tianhuang stone, turquoise, they're all cheap in the mainland now, right? Let's buy them up. We'll definitely get rich in the future."
The truth is out.
When the country just opened its doors in the 1980s, the people and officials in our country were very simple and foolish. For the sake of foreign exchange and so-called "friendship", many treasures were cheated away by the Hong Kong people and the Japanese.
Not to mention antiques and curios, even jade was bought away at very low prices, and then continuously hyped up over the next few decades, slowly released, and then bought back bit by bit by wealthy people in China.
Unscrupulous businessman.
Ahem, people like Chen Xia are also profiteers!
The news that another "bloodstone king" had appeared in the south of Yunnan quickly spread throughout the Hong Kong jewelry industry. Then, like last time, many colleagues in the jewelry business came to appreciate it.
Many people from the cultural circle also came this time.
In 1949, many old-fashioned intellectuals fled to Hong Kong. In addition, Hong Kong is still a Chinese cultural circle after all, so there are quite a few literati who are fond of bloodstone. Many people have been searching hard to get a high-quality bloodstone to use as a seal.
Moreover, the scholars are a bit paranoid. They must find what they have identified and will not accept any inferior substitutes. This time, when they heard that Dahongpao chicken blood stone appeared in the south of Yunnan, they all came to buy it.
Chen Xia stood aside as usual. He might not know the others, but he knew Jin Yong and Ni Kuang, his fellow townsmen from Zhijiang Province, and Huang Zhan, the writer of Cang Hai Sheng Xiao.
At this time, Jin Yong was not as fat as he would be decades later. He was thin and very elegant. He and a few old friends were discussing something around the Real Chicken Blood King.
Ni Kuang was smoking with Huang Zhan next to him, oblivious to whether the air inside the jewelry store would be polluted.
Chen Xia was so excited that he immediately ran to the nearby bookstore and bought the complete set of "The Complete Works of Jin Yong's Martial Arts Novels".
"Flying snow all over the sky, shooting white deer, laughing at the hero leaning on the green mandarin duck."
In his previous life, when Chen Xia was a student, he had spent countless nights awake with a flashlight, enjoying the show. Now that the real person was right in front of him, how could he forget to sign?
In the future, I will put it in my study, and it will have a complete set of novels signed by Master Jin Yong, which will immediately make it more prestigious.
In response to Chen Shuqin's personal request, Mr. Jin Yong was very generous and signed his name on all the dozens of novels in the series, which made Chen Xia happier than if she had earned 10 million.
As for Ni Kuang, this little old man is definitely a legendary figure. He was also one of the people who fled to Hong Kong back then. He secretly used a fake certificate made by carving a radish stamp to deceive his way through the border and reach Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, he is known as a human-shaped printer because of his incredibly fast typing speed and strong writing skills. It is rumored that he once serialized articles for ten newspapers at the same time. Even now that he writes online, he must be a great writer who writes tens of thousands of words a day.
The most famous one is the famous science fiction novel "Wesley". Chen Xia read the pirated book when he was a student and was fascinated by it.
However, this Ningbo fellow gave birth to a son who is a scumbag. Zhou Huimin is so infatuated with him, but this scumbag is still cheating on her all day long. He is simply not a human being.
Uh, wait, how old is Zhou Yunu now? A teenage girl, right? Does she want to be saved by him along with Li Lizhen?
Bah, you can’t be a scumbag, you have to maintain your character and not let it collapse.
Seeing so many celebrities from the cultural world present, Chen Shuqin was very good at seizing opportunities and knew how to increase her influence.
Writers and painters in Hong Kong are rich, and their royalties are quite high, which is much better than writing novels on Qidian. Maybe bloodstone is a good business.
She tested the waters that day and took out a Dahongpao chicken blood stone seal and placed it in the cabinet for them to appreciate. Finally, it was bought at a small auction and was bought by Mr. Jin Yong for 2 million yuan.
2 million! This is the price of two thousand-square-foot luxury houses. At this time, housing prices in Hong Kong are still falling. Maybe if you are lucky, you can buy three second-hand houses.
In this way, Caiyunzhinan added the bloodstone variety for sale on the basis of jadeite variety.
Similarly, bloodstone is not within the business scope of other jewelry stores in Hong Kong. There is no conflict of interest with them, nor does it steal their business, so no one bothers Chen Shuqin.
Besides, the South of Yunnan is known as the "King of Jadeite Rough Stone" and the "King of Chicken Blood Stone", and the security guards at the door are all from the mainland. Everyone is guessing, which mainland dragon is this?
Maybe it’s not even the official business of the mainland.
Otherwise, how could he get so many top-grade jadeite and bloodstone? And he could also pass through customs and reach Hong Kong smoothly. Ordinary people simply can't do it.
