Chapter 341 Who do you look down on? +Finally meet (two in one)

It was during the trade fair, and the Hong Kong businessman who often cooperated with Xu Qifa also came this time. When the two met, Xu Qifa gave him the diamond given by Su Yiyuan and asked him how much he could sell it for.

Although the boss was mainly engaged in the antique business, he was also involved in the jewelry and diamond business. This time he happened to bring an appraiser who knew about this piece. After the appraiser

finished the appraisal, he found that the quality was very good, but the cutting technology was a bit outdated, it should be the technology from decades ago, and it would definitely have to be reprocessed after taking it back, so he whispered to the boss.

The boss came this time because the number of antiques received by Xu Qifa this year has increased greatly, and the previous two batches of goods made him a lot of money.

Come here in person, firstly, to establish a good relationship with Xu Qiqifa, and teach him some knowledge in this area, so that he can collect more good goods; secondly, to explore the current situation in the country, and by the way, see if there are other channels to collect more goods.

Seeing that Xu Qiqi had taken a diamond to sell to him, he was willing to sell it to him well, and the price he gave was considered high. Anyway, it’s just such a diamond, so he’ll earn less.

"This fine two-carat loose diamond usually sells for about 2,000 yuan, but your cutting is too old-fashioned. I will take it back and process it and give you 1,800 yuan." The boss said.

Xu Qiqi had never sold diamonds before, but he had learned about it when he went to Hong Kong City at the beginning of the year. He estimated that the price would be the same, so he easily concluded the deal.

However, the price the boss mentioned was in Hong Kong dollars. At that time, Hong Kong dollars were more valuable than RMB. About one Hong Kong dollar could be exchanged for one and a half RMB.

So the boss said that he didn't make much money, but with the exchange rate, he still made several hundred. If it was made into a ring, the profit would probably be several times higher.

After the appraiser finished appraising this batch of antiques, the boss asked the younger brother who followed him to give a bag of money to Xu Qifa, and made an appointment with him for the next time the goods would arrive at the dock, and then took the people away.

After they left, Xu Qifa took a few stacks of money from the bag and threw them to his trusted younger brothers, asking them to take it down and share it with others. He took the rest back to the room and put it in the safe.

This safe is not small, about the same size as a single-door refrigerator in later generations. There is not much space left inside, as it is almost filled with money. This is just one of his safes.

People in this business certainly don't dare to deposit their money in the bank. After so many years of business, Xu Qifa's family is naturally not thin.

Mainly, in the past two years, more and more people have come to the market to sell gold bars and antiques, and Xu Qifa has made a lot of money from this. Just this trip, after deducting the cost and the share given to his younger brothers, he himself has earned nearly 50,000 yuan, which is equivalent to several months' profit on the market.

Although this business is more risky, it is indeed very profitable. Xu Qiqa planned to make a few more deals before calling it a day. After all, the domestic atmosphere is gradually relaxing, and when people realize it, good things will not be sold so easily.

Xu Qiqi also saw good things when he was a child. Some of the things he collected were particularly good, but he would not sell them and kept them for future emergencies or as family heirlooms.

At this time, a confidant came in after dividing the money and said to him: "Brother Fa, this business is so easy to do, why not take it as a single business?"

A few days ago, a small leader of a certain committee came to them and said that they had a batch of goods in their hands and they had an idea. At that time, he did not agree directly on the grounds that there were too many goods for him to eat.

The main reason is that the higher-ups are now beginning to liquidate a certain committee. Those people who are selling stolen goods at this time are obviously trying to get away with it or run away. He was afraid that accepting their things at this time would drag him down.

But what is certain is that if you take over, you will definitely make a lot of money.

"Don't worry, wait until I think about it clearly." Xu Qiqi waved his hand.

He is able to achieve where he is now not only because of his courage, vision and ability, but also because he is cautious enough.

There are so many free markets in Yangcheng, but many of them were very prosperous for a while and have now disappeared. As long as the risk is higher than the threshold he sets, he will not touch it no matter how high the profit is.

After all, it’s better to sail with caution.

The next night, Xu Qiqi went to Su Yiyuan and gave him the 1,800 yuan from selling the diamonds.

This amount of money was beyond Su Yiyuan's expectation. Xu Qifa had said before that he would charge 180-200 yuan for a small yellow croaker. He thought that this thing would be worth 1,000 yuan at most, but he didn't expect that he could sell it for 1,800 yuan.

"Brother Fa, you didn't pay for it yourself, did you?"

"Brother, I do business with integrity. One is one, two is two. I won't shortchange you, nor will I pay for it myself." Xu Qifa said seriously. Feelings are feelings, and business is business. They can't be confused.

At most, it's his brother's money, and he doesn't make any money.

Su Yiyuan went to the room with a smile and took out three diamonds for Xu Qifa, also two carats, and one bigger one, he planned to keep them for later sale.

"Brother Fa, help me sell these diamonds when I have the chance."

Xu Qifa: ...

"The boss has returned to Hong Kong City, and he won't ship them recently. You can give them to me when you are ready to ship them."

Su Yiyuan waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll keep them with you, and you can pay me after you sell them."

"Aren't you afraid that I will swallow your diamonds?" Xu Qifa said unhappily.

This kid, he is still testing him, is he Xu Qifa a person who is greedy for these few thousand yuan? Who is he looking down on? If it was a few hundred thousand, he probably would still consider it.

Su Yiyuan smiled and said, "Brother Fa, don't be angry. Brother, I have never seen the world. Didn't you tell me that the world is dangerous and you shouldn't trust others too much?"

Xu Qifa: ...

This seems to be what he said.

"Ayuan, I treat you as a brother. As long as you don't harm me, I won't harm you."

"Yes, yes, brother, the heart of a villain is as bad as the heart of a gentleman. Brother, I will punish myself with three glasses of wine." Su Yiyuan smiled, poured three glasses of wine to dull the mood, and then patted the diamond into Xu Qiqi's hand.

Xu Qiqi collected it and put it in the briefcase he carried with him.

"Ayuan, are you short of money? Do you want to sell diamonds?" Xu Qiqi asked. He always felt that this thing would be more valuable in the future.

Logically speaking, Wilson Su should not be short of money. I had such a good job before, and my family didn't have any burden. Even now I'm in school and I'm paid.

"I want to buy a house."

"Why buy a house? Don't you have a house to live in?"

"My younger sister said that this area is likely to be specially approved as a commercial street. While not many people are aware of it now, I can buy a few houses and rent them out or do business in the future. Brother Fa, if you have money, buy some too, it won't be wrong."

"Your younger sister?"

"Yes, my younger sister, the top scorer in the Guangdong Province College Entrance Examination, was previously the director of the translation department of the Foreign Trade Center." Su Yiyuan said proudly, "Her vision is not wrong."

"Really?" How come he didn't receive any news about his territory?

"Of course, do you think anyone can get the top score?" Su Yiyuan snorted, and a brother couldn't doubt her younger sister, "I'll introduce her to you in the future. My younger sister is not ordinary."

"She has already bought a house on Gaodi Street."

"Brother Fa, you have a wide range of information, please keep an eye on it for me, and notify me as soon as someone sells it."

"Okay." Xu Qifa agreed.

At the same time, he also decided to buy some for himself. Money is just sitting there, it's better to invest in some business. Besides, this line of work is very risky. If he gets into trouble someday, at least he will have a house to live in after he leaves, and he won't end up living on the street.

*******

On Sunday, Su Mo took her family to the department store to buy clothes for the two children.

The temperature has dropped in the past few days, and the two children have only grown taller this year. Last year's winter clothes were actually a section too short for them. Su Mo was too lazy to take them apart and make new ones, so she just went out to buy new ones.

The few of them had just gone up to the floor of the department store that sold ready-made clothes, and before they started shopping, they heard someone calling her from a distance.

"Keira!"

Su Mo turned around and saw that it was Su Jing who was shopping in the department store with a few people. Foreign businessmen usually go to Friendship Stores to buy things, and rarely come to department stores.

"Hello, Mr. Louis." Su Mo greeted politely.

"This is Keira Su, the former director of the translation department of the Foreign Trade Center." Su Jing introduced Su Mo to his companions.

Su Jing spoke Chinese, and it seemed that these people were all Chinese businessmen.

After the group greeted each other, Su Jing said to Su Mo: "I heard that you were admitted to the university, congratulations."

"Thank you."

Su Mo saw that Su Jing's eyes seemed to be a little inquiring, so she introduced: "This is my parents and children."

Su Jing heard this, hurriedly bowed slightly, and stretched out his hand to Su Tingqian, "Hello, Mr. Su!"

Su Jing's companions were a little surprised to see Su Jing's attitude so respectful, thinking that Su Tingqian was some big shot in the country.

They knew Louis to some extent. He looked gentle and refined, but he was actually very proud inside. He would not take it seriously.

Su Tingqian shook hands with Su Jing and looked at him. The second cousin's son was indeed good, and his manners and speech were very decent.

After greeting Su Tingqian, Su Jing turned to Mo Yurong and said, "Mrs. Su, hello."

"Your daughter is very outstanding and has helped me a lot. I have always wondered what kind of parents can raise such an outstanding person. It is a rare opportunity to meet you today. I wonder if you two elders would do us the honor of having lunch together at noon?"

The father and daughter looked at each other, and when Su Mo nodded slightly, Su Tingqian said, "At noon, our family will go to the state-owned hotel next door for lunch. If Mr. Louis doesn't mind, let's have a simple meal together."

"It's my honor."

After the negotiation, Su Jing took the others to continue shopping, and did not disturb Su Mo's family again.

"Louis, who is that person? Is he very powerful in the country?" someone asked.

Su Jing smiled and didn't answer. Seeing that he didn't answer, the others stopped asking.

After showing the people around and sending them away, Su Jing fell into thought.

Looking at Su Mo's appearance, he thought that the domestic uncle's family was doing well, but looking at the half-gray hair of his uncle and aunt just now, he didn't think so. These two people looked like they had experienced hardships.

He had seen many photos with this uncle at his third uncle's place, and he was a very unrestrained and romantic person. If he had been working as a university professor smoothly all the time, he shouldn't be like this.

Su Jing rushed to the Friendship Store to buy two toy gift boxes for the two children, and then returned to the state-owned hotel next to the department store, booked a private room, and then chose a conspicuous position by the door to wait.

When it was almost time for dinner, Su Mo's family came in carrying a few bags.

Su Jing stood up and walked over, "Keira, this way, I've booked a private room."

After entering the private room and ordering the dishes, Su Jing picked up the teacup after the waiter left, "My dear cousin, we finally meet. I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."

Su Tingqian was overwhelmed with emotion, his eyes a little moist, and asked, "Are your grandpa and grandma in good health? How are your parents? Is everyone okay?"

"Everything is fine, you don't have to worry. Grandpa was in poor health a few years ago, but he has been getting better since he found his relatives."

"I'm sorry to make you worry." Su Tingqian sighed, "Tell your uncle to take care of himself, and I'll go to see him in a few years."

"Okay."

Lele watched with sparkling eyes. It turned out that this handsome uncle was actually his own relative.

Su Jing looked at Lele, smiled and took the gift that had been placed in the box, and handed it to the two children: "Hello, I am your uncle Su Jing. It's the first time we meet, so I didn't bring any gifts. I picked out two toys in the store, I hope you like them."

The two children took the toys, "Thank you, Uncle Su Jing, we like them very much."

Su Jing stroked the heads of the two children, "I will come again next time and bring you better toys." Su Jing gave Lele a toy car model, and gave An An a rag doll.

There are still too few toys in China, even in friendship stores, there are few choices.

"Do you have a helicopter?" Lele asked with a blink of his eyes.

He has recently become fascinated with helicopters, because he heard from the soldiers who were training rappelling that they were going to practice rappelling from helicopters. An An and Le Le were still too young, and Lu Changzheng was not there, so they did not go.

"Yes, your cousin will bring you one next year."

"Okay, thank you, uncle." Le Le smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.

After the dishes were served and the door was closed, Su Jing and Su Tingqian started chatting.

They mainly talked about their situation after arriving in Country M, how they settled down there, how they started their business, and what they did after settling down. They talked about a lot of things, from life to study to work.

It was definitely difficult at the beginning, but later on, it got better and better.

Of course, Su Jing also heard a lot of it from his parents, because when he first went out, he was still a baby. What he can remember is what happened after he was four or five years old.

Su Mo listened quietly on the side. She didn't know the people they were talking about. From the conversation between the two, they also mentioned many old friends or relatives who were good friends with the Su family. Some of them left during the war, and some left at about the same time as Su Zhongqing and the others.

From what Su Jing said, these people didn't seem to be doing badly outside. Su Mo didn't know whether Su Tingqian regretted not going with them.

After talking about them, Su Jing asked about the family's experience in recent years. After listening, he also sighed.

Logically speaking, such a merit should have protected several generations of descendants, but it turned out like this. It was really fate!

I don't know if my uncle regretted not going out with him?

After coming back from dinner, Su Tingqian seemed to be worried. When he went to bed at night, he kept tossing and turning.

"Tingqian, do you regret not going out?" Mo Yurong asked.

Su Tingqian waved his hand, "No regrets, if I had left, we would not have met, and there would be no Momo."

Su Tingqian met Mo Yurong in 1951. The two fell in love at first sight, got married in 1952, and Su Mo was born in 1953.

"I'm just sighing." Su Tingqian said.

"Sometimes a blessing in disguise, wait and see. Go to sleep, don't think too much." Mo Yurong advised.

Su Tingqian sighed, everything will depend on the future, so he stopped thinking about it, and gradually fell asleep while lying down.
