Chapter 123 Caution is Required



Hearing his explanation, Xu Xiangyang's expression softened.

This whole thing is so convincing, it's like they're genuinely afraid he'll steal something.

Do I really need this little something? I'm here to spend money.

That's really interesting!!

After packing his things, Feng Jiunian looked at him and asked, "Are you interested in these?"

Xu Xiangyang nodded when he heard that he had finally gotten to the point. "Yes, we don't have many old items in our area. Most of them are hidden away and rarely put out for sale."

That's true. Such things are not common in Northeast China, and even some people may only have a few.

In the past, landlords would hide things, but they did hide them so that they couldn't be seen outside.

This is quite common in Beiping now, but that's because there's no other way; once the movement starts, if you don't take action, you'll get smashed.

If they hide and get found, that whole family is doomed.

Most people exchanged their money for money or food. At least these things provided a means of survival and wouldn't threaten their lives.

Feng Jiunian thought for a moment, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

He had to be careful, because if this got out, he could be finished.

Xu Xiangyang saw it, so it was nothing; that's what they did for a living.

"Brother Daqiang, if you want to buy, I have some here, but the price can't be too low." After thinking for a moment, he decided to sell them.

After all, the house is only so big, and there's not much room left to hide in the yard.

If he gets caught, he'll suffer a huge loss.

Old objects aren't like money, which can be hidden anywhere. Where can you hide a whole box of these things?

Xu Xiangyang has no shortage of money, and he collects old items with the intention of keeping them as collectibles.

When it opens up in the future, it will look nice to have some real items at home. Which self-made rich family doesn't even have an old object?

This thing will get more and more expensive in the future, and he'll feel bad about buying it.

“No problem.” Xu Xiangyang nodded and said, “Money is no problem, it’s nothing, I trust Brother Feng.”

Although there is a lot of money, we still try to save wherever we can.

What I said before was all pretense; what I said afterward was the truth.

He said he trusted Feng Jiunian, so how could he possibly offer such a high price?

Sure enough, Feng Jiunian smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, it's definitely not as expensive as what I sell outside, and I definitely won't let you spend more money."

Money isn't important; he still wants to make this friend. The supplies he usually gives away are enough for him to make a fortune.

The two went out for lunch, and Xu Xiangyang realized why the place was so expensive.

Because ordering just one roast duck already costs a lot of money, not counting other items.

The Peking duck here is very authentic and tastes great. I even packed a few to take home for my family to try before I left.

The two agreed to make the transaction two days later, so after returning home, Xu Xiangyang planned to go somewhere else.

There's no need to go to those tourist attractions; they're too crowded now, and if something happens, we're doomed.

He searched several black markets but found nothing, and some people were unwilling to sell their goods anymore.

They're cracking down really hard right now, so if you want to sell, you have to find a safer location.

Clearly, he hadn't considered a better black market.

I wandered around several department stores, and everything inside required a ticket and a household registration certificate.

Where does Xu Xiangyang have a Beijing household registration? We have no choice but to give up.

Back at the hotel, he locked the door and entered his spatial dimension; it was better to find things in the dimension than to go out to buy them.

It doesn't cost money, doesn't require tickets, and doesn't require a household registration.

He had opened most of the containers in the logistics port. Some things couldn't be made in this era, so there were very few things he could use.

I found some food and supplies, packed them up to take home, and then I started organizing other things.

After opening several boxes, Xu Xiangyang found that none of the contents were useful, and he suspected that he was having bad luck today.

Looking at the few dozen boxes left, he decided not to open them, but to save them for later.

He made a record of all the alleys he had explored, making it easy to find things.

Most of the food has been prepared, but some needs to be kept for personal use before the rest can be sold.

After all, the supply from outside is not enough. What will we eat when they are sold out?

There are still more than ten years to go, so he needs to make the most of his current life before thinking about making money.

I still have tens of thousands of yuan in hand, so I'm not in such a hurry to make money anymore.

He also plans to buy a few more houses and build a large building when the area is open to the public.

Of course, I'm talking about places like shopping malls or hotels.

As long as there's a house to live in, that's fine. The place we live in now is quite good; it's big enough. We can build another house when we have younger siblings.

How lively it is when a whole family lives together?

Xu Xiangyang used to think that being alone was the most comfortable thing, but now he realizes that family is the best.

With both young and old, how fortunate they are.

After tidying up his things, Xu Xiangyang rested and went out for a stroll the next day, then explored the city of Beiping.

Aside from the large number of people on the streets, there's nothing wrong with it; it has a very vintage feel.

Xu Xiangyang didn't approach Tianmen because there were too many people there, so he only glanced at it from afar.

There are no plans yet; the area is very open and appears quite large.

Unlike later times, when the area was planned and became extremely crowded, only the area in front of the gate was spacious. (The author had never been there; he only saw it on television.)

Two days later, Xu Xiangyang bought everything he could and visited all the places he wanted to visit, and then he prepared for the transaction.

He glanced at the time; it was exactly eight o'clock in the evening.

I changed my clothes and then went to the outskirts of the city.

He found the agreed-upon location, placed the items on a truck in the space, and then parked the truck in the woods.

Not long after, he saw a figure pushing a small cart coming over.

Feng Jiunian didn't pay attention to the time and arrived a little late, but for Xu Xiangyang, the timing was perfect.

"They're here. Unload the goods, and we'll settle the accounts tomorrow." He pointed to the items on the cart.

These are old items he sold to Xu Xiangyang, and the items on the truck are things Xu Xiangyang sold to him.

The two of them spent more than an hour fiddling with the items before finally getting them replaced.

"Come to my house tomorrow, we'll settle the accounts then." Feng Jiunian wiped the sweat from his brow, exhausted.

Xu Xiangyang nodded. "Be careful on the road."

The two rested for a while before parting ways.

Xu Xiangyang watched him walk away before putting the car back into his spatial storage and then walking back to the hotel.

Driving at this time would easily attract the attention of others.

The main problem is that this truck isn't registered, so it's easy to find out that it's not a local vehicle. If they check the letter of introduction and the vehicle registration number on it doesn't match this truck, that won't work.

Therefore, it's safer to do it this way.

Back at the hotel, Xu Xiangyang noticed that there were several children staying in the next room, all wearing red armbands.

They've been here for three days, and they're thinking about seeing the leaders every day.

However, they haven't seen him yet, which is making them quite upset. That's why they're still awake in the middle of the night, with the lights on and them talking inside.
